Lord Deependra Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 So far, I have encountered Death Machines from Sectors 5, 92, 511, 614, 814. What sector fleets have other people encountered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Miles Avatar Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Good Job man!!! You've got them surrounded!!! So far we have met up with the beasties from sector 679 and no others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakarissa Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I haven't encountered any DMX forces and I've gotten up to 5 jumps from my home system. I did some analysis on that DMX Heavy Cruiser that was posted. I think Pete downgraded the shield numbers in Draco. It has Mk III Shields but has the strength of an Andro Mk II Shield. The Fire Control comes in at an even 10.0 and the integrity and Point Defense numbers are spot on with Andro numbers. The integrity matches up with Andro techs so the armor numbers for Selenite and Cordellium are the same as the Andro equivalents. I'm going to have to ANZ the Draco Mk I and Mk II shields to verify their strengths but I'm pretty sure Pete downgraded them by one step compared to the Andro shields. If true, then the Draco Mk IX Force Shield will only have the strength of an Andro Mk VIII Force Shield. Armor just got a little bit more important.

Sakarissa Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Just double-checked the ANZ for the Mk I Force Shield in Draco. It's strength is 200 versus 300 in Andro. Shields ARE less effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you congratulating the Death Machines or me? I'm feeling pretty surrounded about now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Miles Avatar Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Congratulations of course!! You have engaged 5 different DMX. They are most likely thinking this particular biological is all over the place!! Our DMX fleet was encountered on the other side of an H WP. We are hoping the WP on thier side is too difficult to survey with their JJS's And yes there have been many tweaks. Engines missiles colony installations AP and shields to name just a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobknob Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Pete did mention that shields were being trimmed back a bit. or a lot depending on how you look at it. This reduction is alot at the higher ends if the trends are linear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakarissa Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 So far the Mk I Fusion Engine thrust is halved over the Andro version. I'm expecting a lot less thrust on the Total Conversion Engines when I get to them in about 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakarissa Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Any recent DMX encounters? If so, willing to share? I still haven't encountered anyone yet in Draco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Miles Avatar Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Did you start from the getgo? I started after one turn after the initial turn. No players yet and just one DMX encounter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Deependra Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Nothing this turn. I had a war fleet arrive at the site of the destruction of one of my scouts, but the Death Machines have moved on. Be vewwy vewwy quiet. I'm hunting Death Machines. Heh heh heh!

Sakarissa Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 General Avatar, Yes, I did start from the get go. I'm up to 5 jumps out from the home system. I don't have everything explored in that range yet. Still working on getting more an explore ship with more than 1 AP and a transwarp drive.

Guest Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I have to wait on everthing I have warp points from D to a H in the 2 sys from my homeworld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Miles Avatar Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Don't be so sure Nym. If those systems have orbits you will be able to crack em with the lowly Mk I JSS's. we cracked an H WP with a lvl 5 explorer all the ground installations that aid with surveys and just 5 Mk I JSS's As their reward they were vaporized by the DMX ship lying in wait on the other side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
