For the benefit and amusement of all I am going to post selected excerpts of the skirmishes taking place in space known to the Bombay Trading Corp.

 

This is a conflict that has been going on for some time now so I will make some attempt to post them in sequential order.

 

Feel free to point out how poor my ship designs were, but know that I am already aware of that fact. :ninja:

 

Stay tuned for the first battle that started the entire conflict.

Ok, I found the initial combat so here it is.

A Draegaera Light Cruiser engage a pair of Bombay Trading Corp Fleet Scouts in the XXXXXXX system, destroying them utterly

and killing Ranger First Lensman in the process.

===================================================

 

For those that have not had the fun of combat you will also be able to see how the battle reports have evolved over time. This combat was some time ago and the reporting tool was pretty devoid of useful data IMHO.

 

This combat was pretty dry since it was just a couple of scout ships that got toasted. Of course it always hurts when you lose your highest ranking explorer.

A Dragaera warship launches fires and opens up with its primary batteries against a Bombay Trading Corp ship spotted in the

XXXXX system, vaporizing the Bombay ship in short order. Dragaera Light Tractor Beam crews tried to pull the Bombay ship

in close enough to attempt a capture, but the target was too quick for them and perished instead.

Here are the next turns comabats. Now we start to see more of the dedicated war ships and get away from so much of the random encounter with non-combats or auxilliaries.

Dragaera and Bombay Trading Corp ships tangle in the XXXX star system.

A weapon's effectiveness drops off by 10% per Deploy Location after its maximum normal range. Point Blank class weapons

drop off by 20% per Deploy Location, but have a higher base damage if firing from Deploy Location 1. The bonus is included

in the damage output value listed next to the ship's weapons, above.

Missiles/Torpedos : Point Blank [1], Short [2], Medium [5], Long [8], Standoff [10] (all 10% dropoff)

Other : Standard [1] (10% dropoff), Point Blank [1] (20% dropoff, bonus from [1])

I thought there was a minmum size for ships yet I see in one battle that Draegara had a ship of 400T. Is it possible to build a ship smaller than 1000T?

This came in the third from the bottom battle.

You are correct, ships < 1000 tons are not supposed to be able to be built. I have run into many of these so far. I figure that they were either built before the code was fixed, or the code is still broken. In either case it is hardly worth bothering Pete about at this point. I have had entirely too many other "important" concerns that needed attention so the added distraction was not warrented.

A couple of turns ago I also encountered three fleets of 250 ton ships. (Engine, Jump Drive, and 50 tons Fuel Tankage) That is the most streamlined scout ship i have ever seen!

Sheesh a Combat Gunboat is a 500 ton 'small starship' as are a few other advanced fightercraft

When Pete changed the code to no longer allow designs under 1000k, he said he intended to go through all existing designs at that time and pad them out with standard hull plate to reach 1k.  So maybe he missed some.

 

Pete has never done such a thing as far as I know. If you had an existing under 1K design, it was never adjusted and you could keep building them.
