rfouasnon Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 If Draco follows Andromeda , then you are looking at Strike Cruisers after 600,000 tons . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Deependra Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Yep, I have a Strike Cruiser with 693,533 tons. And a Command Cruiser at 980,200 And a Star Cruiser at 1,665,000 And a Battleship at 5,280,200. And a War Dreadnaught at 27,504,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobknob Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Here are a few. Each design type has a lower and upper bound for tonnage then there are a few other things that can change a designation depending on what components you have in the design. In Draco you see lots of express boats and blockade runners since you need so much tonnage in engines to get a higher AP design. There can also be multiple designs in the same tonnage range. For example a CVB (bantam carrier) is 25k to 249k and a CVBA (bantam assault carrier) is 50-249k but it has armor. anyway here are a few; CO - 25k FF - 25-49k DD - 50-74k HDD 75-99k SDD 100-149k SDDZ 100-? CL - 150- 249 FC - 250-399 CA - 400-600 SCA 600-749 CCA 750-999 BC 1M - 1.249M WC 1.25 - 1.499M SC 1.5 - 1.99M BM - 2M - 2.99 BB 3 - 7.99M DN 8-14.9M BDN 15- 19.9M WDN 20-49.9M NDN 50M and up I have long argued that these all need to be inflated by a factor of 10 since you get out of all the cool classifications by the time you are actually building stuff you want to use. Many of the higher end weapons are bigger than an entire ship until you get o CCA size and larger. Anyway, there you have it. Not much has changed in Draco that I can see.

JohnJellicoe Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Thanks! Most of my BM's weigh much less than 2 million tons, thankfully... sorry could not resist... ran into a DMX battleship with one of my scout ships, it was about 5,000,000 tons, mix of 4th, 5th and maybe 6th? generation tech.

Sandarbian Posted August 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Thanks everyone for the answers but er.... SDDZ - ?? BC - Battle Cruiser WC - ? My guess would be War Cruiser.... BM - ?? DN - is dreadnought of course but... BDN - ? maybe Battle Dreadnought?? NDN -? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fremen Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 BM = Monitor your are correct about BDN NDN = Nova Dreadnaught Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hershberger_rt Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 I have a question, What is the average distance between Player Empires? If anyone is willing to part with such useful info I would be most appreciative. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandarbian Posted November 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Average distance? I have yet to find "A" distance to another player. Now Death Machines I'm finding around every corner..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobknob Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) Greetings - That is a difficult question since it is impossible or at least difficult to know that you have checked every system and possible location and then there is the issue of how you want to count a one way that provides a short cut. In my experience in Andromeda, I rarely, like maybe one that I remember, saw a HW within 4 of each other. Occasionally one at range 5, but for me the butter zone was 7-10. If the universe creation subroutine has not been fiddled with then that should hold true in Draco. In Draco I have found HW's at range 4 (through a one way) and range 8-14 on the return trip and a couple that are in the 7-10 range with 8 being the most common for me. Feel free to panic now.

This information is confirmed. We did indeed find another HW only 4 jumps away ( one way) and the return trip was only 6 jumps also one way.

Lord Deependra Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 The shortest I have found is 4 jumps each way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
