In my radar HUD ive been contact other 8 Ships-7500tons parking around same Comet described above..

Now am in doubt..from WHERE come this Carrier-Race?

I noticed this too and was a bit cheeky so went and looked at what they were. But, I will say no more cause I want to read what Steve says!

I thought this shoudl really be a bug report after my encounter

[sloanjh]

Y'Know....I think I would have rather not known about this - that way I would get the WTF!?!?!?! adrenaline rush when I got surprised by what was going on.  Would it be possible to maybe label threads that are giving away a new NPR/Precursor behavior with "SNERK ALERT" or something similar in the title?

Thanks,
John

I ran into them too. I didn't know they were new though, and it was my first combat.

Luckily my 100k ton missile ship managed to blow up 151 800 ton fighters, then came back with a fresh supply of missiles and wiped out the larger ships. Finally the 60 thousand ton monster showed up and 300 9-pack mirv missiles (2700 total) later it was history =)
