Shocking development. A group of 3 fugitive battlecruisers were actually beamships. Found this out when one of 5 T4 Battlecruisers took a volley and dropped out of the pursuit. There aren't enough shipkiller missiles left over to deal with them, what has developed is an actual squadron fight between 3 T6 ships with 18 high-tech lasers and 1 T6 ship with 8 high-tech lasers and 4 T4 ships with 32 mid-tech railguns, bad armor damage everywhere and a 2Kkm/s speed advantage. The ace in the hole is 4 100-count volleys of WH4 shortrange missiles, fit to strip the armor off a battlecruiser, halfthrough that. It's been interesting. It's currently an extreme range engagement (at 2LS) with both sides landing the odd laser hit, coming out ahead despite 1/3 the guns due to freakishly good crew. Tried closing once, and backed off at 1.25LS, it was getting too heated. After this results in some engine damage for a ship that has had its armor stripped, going to use the last two volleys to cripple one BC, strip armor off the last and try to swarm it, for all that at the end of it the Battlecruisers will be taking hits that go in one side of the ship and out the other.
This has been a battle, I love Spoilers.
