hobknob Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Would you listen a warning to not proceed, or would you think that there was something valuable that was being protected? Many would tend to think the latter and just push all the harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Deependra Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Death Machines. What do we know so far? I have encountered two types of ships and fleets. I have seen 4 light cruiser fleets:- [Zulu] K0814-23 CL K4S (Light Cruiser - 224,700 tons) CL K4S (Light Cruiser - 224,700 tons) [integrity: 1,261,680 / 1,261,680] (Green, Timid)225 Battle Imaging System, 10,000 Cargo Bay, 3 Fuel Shuttle, 45,000 Fuel Tankage, 48 Light Sonic Disintegrator1 Mk I Fusion Engine, 1 Mk I Fusion Jump Drive, 1,125 Pulse Laser CIDS, 54,600 Selenite Battle WeaveSonic: 268,800Maneuverability: 0.00, Missile Defense: 50.10 % And two minelayer fleets:- [Zulu] X0814-21 ML EX4M (Minelayer - 60,000 tons) ML EX4M (Minelayer - 60,000 tons) [integrity: 389,980 / 389,980] (Green, Timid)180 Burst Mine Rack, 3 Fuel Shuttle, 12,000 Fuel Tankage, 1 Mk I Fusion Engine, 1 Mk I Fusion Jump Drive2 Mk IV Jump Survey Sensor, 17,100 Selenite Battle WeaveMines: 79,200Maneuverability: 0.01, Missile Defense: 0.00 % In addition, the name of the fleet seems to indicate the Death Machine Sector Command. I saw this warning and fleet at the same location:- << System Beacon >> THIS SYSTEM IS INTERDICTED BY DMX SECTOR 0511 WARSHIPS -- FURTHER INCURSIONS WILL RESULT IN THEEXTERMINATION OF YOUR SPECIES [Zulu] K0511-43 CL K4S (Light Cruiser - 224,700 tons) So far I have encountered fleets from Sectors 511, 614 and 814. I suspect the "Sectors" are systems ie all Death Machines built in system number 511 will belong to 511 command, but that is pure speculation at this point. What have other people encountered?

General Miles Avatar Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 We are happy to report that our sector of the galaxy seems to be devoid of Death Machines! So Far....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landmine Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Two Death Machine fleets of Light Cruisers ambushed one of my pathfinders exploring far from home. Resistance was futile........for now at least. If anyone cares the enemy fleets were KO233-1 & 4. This of course means fleets 2 & 3 &5,6.... are somewhere nearby. The cruisers were carrying system beacons and fusion bombs. I noted no system beacon alerts so it would appear these fleets arrived at the same time I arrived.

Glamdring Posted September 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 One of my valiant, enhanced pathfinders penetrated DEEP into DMX space via a one-way gate. Further evasive maneuvers lead me to a CORE DMX world. Quite a sight to behold and I suspect I have information of great value. Orbital Mining Shuttles were just one item of interest but I think I will keep the rest to myself until I learn the value of this information. perhaps the Older Andomeda players already have this information or even more. If so please share so we can see the extent of the changes in Draco. Yes........ my enhanced pathfinder was vaporized but the Emergency Distress Beacon got a report back to HQ that was worth the Pathfinders demise.

Lord Deependra Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 That sounds VERY interesting. I have a fleet heading out towards the last known sighting of a Death Machine fleet, but I don't except to see any for at least a couple more turns.

Sakarissa Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Looks like the DMX ships posted earlier don't have any shields on them. I'm a little surprised at that. Begs the question, do the DMX enclaves actually research new techs as time goes on? Or do they continue to pump out the ship designs they currently have in their libraries without innovations?

General Miles Avatar Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 I suspect that the DMX's fleets will 'adapt' to the increasing technology levels of us dreaded biologicals. Right now they don't need shields against what is generally the pathetic firepower of our ships. I'm sure there are a few of us who are kicking DMX arse but not enough to warrant a general increase in DMX item tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakarissa Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 I haven't seen the DMX yet. I'm making preparations even so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Deependra Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 I had four more battles with the Death Machines this turn - 1 victory and three defeats. They are really taking a toll on my first wave of scouts. All the ships I fought were their standard K4S cruisers and EX4M minelayers.

Lord Deependra Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I encountered a new class of Death Machine ship this turn - a Heavy Cruiser. CA HK7B (Heavy Cruiser - 500,000 tons) [integrity: 6,149,000 / 6,149,000] [shields: 315,000 / 315,000] (Green, Timid) 2,000 8cm Gatling CIDS, 10,000 Cargo Bay, 103,800 Cordellium Composite, 200 Crystallizer, 250 FCS-1 Archer Fire Control 10 Fuel Shuttle, 50,000 Fuel Tankage, 450 Mk III Force Shield, 1 Mk IV Nuclear Engine, 1 Mk IV Nuclear Jump Drive Cold: 1,600,000 Maneuverability: 0.00, Missile Defense: 70.60 % Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Miles Avatar Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 We encountered our very first Death Machine ship this turn but it was one of those smaller minelayer types. It was enough to vaporize my pathfinder though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakarissa Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Hmmmm, I'm not quite done with Mk II Force Shields myself. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
