Nah, no worry. Nag me again in a couple weeks. :D

Are we there yet? What about now?

Heh, I can imagine.
In that case, sorry for the "nagging"... and the best of luck!

I need to hand off my thesis by friday, so I am EXTREMELY busy at the moment. I'll see to continue this later.

Is this still alive?
I'd love to see this continue, as I find it fascinating to see what people come up with against a completely unknown opponent.

Microwaves are brutal, but I think I did do electronic hardening level 1. Which... should not actually be visible in the design screen, so, heh, it would hurt a lot. Thankfully, the ECM should give me a chance. But yeah, at this low BP and RP, mesons are absolutely brutal. I defeated a fleet of invaders with them once-- sure it took like 300 fighters, but still.

The thing I don't like about microwaves, is that they very rarely create secondary explosions. Hitting an ammo rack with mesons has... explosive results. But another one of my favorite tactics is blinding the designated targetting ship with microwaves while missiles are in flight.

Imagine getting blindsided by a fighter moving at 30,000 km/s and blasting you with microwaves and then just running off. And by the time your sensor is repaired, there's a fleet with 35cm railguns in your face.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot I added Microwaves as well. Good thinking, past Thanatos. Good thinking. Now, if only I would stop forgetting putting fuel tanks on my Campaign ships.

Hmm, my entry appears a clumsy overcomplicated mess compared to the entries I've seen so far.
Hope the little freak makes it though :)

Haha, I honestly don't remember my design, but I'm pretty sure it's pure beam vessels with less speed than yours.
I don't see them doing too well against those mesons to be honest.

To me the high power microwave actually looks scarier than the mesons at short range. In hindsight I guess I should of used electronic hardening but I didn't realize how quickly sensors / fire controls get disabled.

My design hits with 32 size 4 missiles from 225k kilometers, even that might not break through.

I honestly thought that my speed was gonna be high enough.
