That's why I'm waiting for 5.20.

Heh. I discovered one doing the same as I was, in the fourth wormhole system I found. I was grav surveying, and so was he. I followed, with active sensors on, trying to glean as much info as I could.IIRC Steve has set up both Precursors and [spoiler:2u6yn894]Invaders[/spoiler:2u6yn894] to ram if they have no weapons/ ammunition.
[spoiler:2u6yn894]I got a bit to close, and the little SOB rammed me. It said a strength 0 absorption shield explosion was detected. That told me it was likely an Invader survey vessel. Can you imagine? A 6000 ton ship ramming a 12000 ton one? He knocked my shields flat, tore through the armour and destroyed one engine, and that was it. Alien morons. What next? [/spoiler:2u6yn894]

Quote from: "lastverb"I went back and checked my notes, the 32 000 tonne warship has a 750 strength shield. So assuming that 100% of the salvo hits, unlikely I know, it should just about destroy the target.Quote from: "welchbloke"Based upon my experience that alpha strike should definately kill a 32 000 tonne Invader maybe even 2 of them;I think it will not kill even one, 260x6 is just 1560 dmg not counting pd. I haven't done 12800 tons one in ~1200 dmg salvo (single armor penetration noticed). They might be somewhat overpowered, but its something i wanted
