You've forgotten to make the tracking speed high enough on those fire controls... My MiniMe would be able to dodge most of your fire, and its armor would absorb enough to last for a round or two of single turret attention.

Isn't it interesting that this game encourages you to specifically design your ships as counters to your opponents' ships?

Don't be fooled by this discussion - these are "vapor" "what if" designs that wouldn't show up in a realistic game.  Just building the shipyard for a 1.25 Mton ship would probably take a century (if not a few).

One of the interesting things I've found in conventional starts is a "burden of history" effect - you end up building different designs due to e.g. the size of your existing jump ships and the size of SY than if you do a TN start and use fast-OOB to create new designs.

That being said, I think there's definitely an effect of "this is the sort of threat that I've just encountered (and gotten my butt kicked by :-) - I'm need going to need to develope XXX technology in order to counter it".  For example, if you encounter a fleet that seems to like heavily armored designs and heavy anti-missile, you might try for meson development.

Another point on this:  one of the things Steve tried very hard for in the design was to not have any one type of weapons system to be dominant over any other, i.e. to have a counter-strategy for any design philosophy.  A good example of this is the missile discussion that recently flared up - the point is that missiles have (Father Tim said, IIRC) large tactical advantages but large strategic disadvantages.

without the jumpdrive this occurs, only a 5000 km/s overtake or 25000 everytime it fires which will likely swat 100 or so fighters out of the sky each time since 1 hit of internal damage kills your fighters, thats better but I could just do this

and eat your baby ships for breakfast, you would only be able to field around 8000 max against this ship which is really just an enormous long range version of the CIWS 25000 pellets per 10 seconds is nothing to sneeze at, also I am unsure if ecm effects fire controls... but if it does any of them will defeat your fleet as you don't have any eccm mounted and the smallest is .5 hs and 4 crew which would force you to go up to a small crew quarters as well.

but if you rip out the engineering section and dump the armor you can get this which is... just slower than the MK 3 but it has a shot against the mk 2

Quote from: "Father Tim"
In the Real World,  "Judgement" would fire one barrel at a time.  So at t=5s a second 'Mini-Me' would die, and a third at 10s, and a fourth at 15s.  Likewise, three more would die at 40s, 45s, and 50s.

So only 9,991 fighters would remain to celebrate.


Happy April Fool's Day!
Ha!
In the Real World, the laser turret would cut an arc through space for maybe half a second, taking out dozens of MiniMe in every shot.
Several more unfortunate fighters would be caught in the shrapnel from each exploding ship... There just isn't time to change course at those speeds.

It still wouldn't matter.

"anything smaller [than 225 tons] can't mount a weapon system that can possibly hurt it."

I take objection to that statement!
My favorite tactic is that of army ants; strength by sheer numbers.

Behold! My solution to your Judge. For the same number of build points, I can build a whopping 19,718 of these MiniMe fighters.
I'll only build 10,000 and assume the other build points were spent on the carrier ships it would require.
(Interestingly, these carriers wouldn't need any missile defense - the fighters could easily intercept typical missiles)

On average, a swarm of 10,000 MiniMe would do 12,500 damage to your ship every 5 seconds.
Your armor can take 32,023 damage total (31*1033).

Allow me to simulate an optimistic battle for you with this timeline:
-??s I notice your monster enter the system (a strength 10 thermal sensor would do  :roll: ) so I launch my fighters.
-??s You notice my carrier fleet and advance.
0s - You fire, killing one ship.
0s - You retreat (to make it harder on me) (separation: 1,400,000 km) (9,999 fighters remain)
5s - My fighters have advanced 625,000 km
5s - You've retreated 500,100 km (separation: 1,275,100)
10s - separation: 1,150,200
15s - separation: 1,025,300
20s - separation: 900,400
25s - separation: 775,500
30s - separation: 650,600
35s - Your lasers have recharged, and immediately fry another ship. (9,998 fighters remain)
35s - separation: 525,700
40s - separation: 400,800
45s - separation: 275,900
50s - separation: 151,000
55s - separation: 26,100
55s - The swarm is within range, and starts firing. (The RNG badly screws me over, and only ~10% hit instead of the expected ~18.75%)
Assuming the RNG is still messing with me, no shots do any internal damage before completely destroying your armor.
55s - You have ~22,000 squares of armor left.
60s - You have ~12,000 squares of armor left.
65s - You have ~2,000 squares of armor left.
70s - Your lasers have recharged, and manage to kill another ship. (9,997 fighters remain)
70s - You have run out of armor. The internal components of your ship explode from ~8,000 points of damage hitting simultaneously. There simply isn't enough time to repair anything.

Actually, a swarm of 1,000 MiniMe would be more efficient... and my 8-billion population capital could build them all in 11 months.
...
Now I want to do the math to find out the exact minimum it would take to destroy your Judge-class.

I'll just send 75 of these after your giant ship. I'd still have some BPs left over, but 75 is good enough.

Every one of them would have enough shielding to absorb one of your hits without damage, and they should be a bit difficult to hit with ECM 10 and the 20000kms speed advantage. You would only be able to target one at a time every 35 seconds, while they'd be peppering you with 3000 internal damage every 5 seconds. I'd probably be mostly shooting engines for quite a few shots, but with your 35% explosion chance you should light up pretty quick from secondary explosions. Mine would too, but even if you fry one every 35 seconds you're still going to be hurting. You would get a couple free shots on the way in (one at 1,400,000, another at 700,000 while I'm closing in at 100,000 every 5 seconds) but likely not enough to do much good.

well the thing is you have to let the superdreadnaught get at least halfway to you before you can start firing, also technically the beams could reach for 20 million kms... but no range is low, yes it needs more guns, i'm not sure from where I like my speed.

They can shoot 7 of the missiles each before reloading. And they are fast enough to stop you from forcing the engagement to your beam range. That is 70 thousand points of damage possible. The laser warheads I'm not sure since I've never been hit with them but I think they do piercing damage don't they?

I like your super fast dreadnought, but I think its firepower could be increased, missiles added, more defensive weapons without a huge drop in speed while increasing its offensive ability profoundly.

Since its being designed with max tech, why not throw in a few other weapons as well?

I just realized it would be possible to create a bunch of small fast ships armed with mesons to mob it. Your ship can only shoot once every 35 seconds?

Add some smallish weapon batteries to take care of massive swarm fleets!

slightly better, but 30-40 isn't enough with those missiles to ensure a kill and then again your ships are defenseless and they still have an overall cost of more than my ship.

Build 35-40ish of them. And assume that there is a tanker to fuel them and a collier to rearm the missiles.

Is this a better direction?

one slight problem there, I can build two of my 100k speed ship for not much more than your 1 missile and attendant ship. lose one and still hurt you more by chasing down and eating your launching platform, and your missile launcher takes 14.25 years to reload it's single missile, much slower than the time it takes to build my dreadnaught  :D

But your real problem is you have already rammed clear past the point of diminishing returns and are almost at the point of negative returns

A giant ship just to shoot it at you.

The 100k launcher was only supposed to mount my black hole device though it is good to see it might have another use =D
