How could I did not notice this thread earlier
so many batles fought ...
Possibly much better place to talk with Vandermeer than more dedicated thread as well
especially he was curious how the nastiest enemies taste - yes - battle vs spoilers so read on own risk
situation
clearing 1 of 4 wormhole race groups within my teritory
year 2094
enemy
6x 34kt ships - type already salvaged 21 twin 10cm lazor turrets with extreme FC confirmed by intelligence
2x 34 kt ? ships - unknown class and capabilities
these 2 operating as 1 group
supported by 3x 16.7kt ? unknown class and capabilities
due to termal signature ( I have placed there few deep space stations ) all unknown class are expected to be military ships
enemy speed 8k ecm=6 and deep armor no shields
tonnage by groups 270kt + 50kt
friendly forces
cruiser fleet - 18 of my generation 2 to 2+ ships 19kt each + 1 cruiser 15 kt 2+gen + 3 fresh 27kt gen 3 battlecruisers
tonnage used 450kt
speed 8 km/s for main body and 9km/s for BC, ewar level 3 for all, armor 6 to 8, shields- 200size on BC only
initial tactics unless something bad happens is to go to 10-20mil km for cruiser missile broadside and finish by beams with BC missile broadside as situtational reserve
expected outcome - kill / damage enemy group - if enemy PD too good at least break their formation and kill with beams one by one
logistics not needed - run well within my operational range to homeworld , auxilaries / tugs next door
weaponary
missiles -all in boxed launchers ( wh-speed-range)
