WW2 inspired heavy beam cruiser (taskforce)

[SteelChicken]

Yup, if they outspeed me I have problems, even more so since this means that they might have fast missiles as well.

But essentially if a beam fleet has lower speed it is out of business till it gets new engines and it is time to call in the missile boys and girls and make this battle more expensive for us resource-wise. So when they run and rearm we run and call friends

Tactically this is bad.  You will likely get your butt handed to you...but most of the fun of Aurora is role playing which includes a lot of butt kicking on all sides

Slight update due to friendly allied aliens providing new engine techs 1.5 years before we would have gotten there by ourself.

Heavy Cruiser is basically unchanged, just exchanging some fuel due to more efficient engines for a second PD FC.

Destroyer speed is now faster than the Spoiler FACs and a lot of tonnage has been saved by the new engines.

Starting to like that destroyer even more.

[CharonJr (OP)]

I really like their little FAC brother as well, even if the armor and speed is not perfect.
