Title: Going to a gunfight with a plastic spoon...
Post by: plasticpanzers on November 20, 2015, 12:24:40 AM
I played a marathon game for about 17 hours yesterday with my first long game enough to jump to another system
and get a survey ship erased by a hostile nuclear missile.   Then, being an idiot, i spent hours researching and then
building a few nice large crusiers and went back to find the culprits.   But being an idiot and without enough sleep I
sent them in without any missiles on board.   Easy to figure out what happened next... :P

It is justified to spawn missiles out of nowhere to fix a mistake like that, we've all done it before.

Welcome to Aurora.   ;D 

Next step to Aurora Mastery is forgetting the magazines.   :-X

That's basically the same thing, the next step is usually forgetting the fuel tanks or maybe fire controls.

Or the deployment time. "What? I just built these ships, how is their morale failing because they exceeded deployment time!?"
"Because you only set it to 3 months, Admiral Dork Face."

Only realised I'd equipped my battlecruiser with box launchers instead of normal launchers when they failed to reload during a battle.  Would have been embarrassing if I hadn't brought a division of cruisers along as well (which were designed properly.)

Now I have to decide on if I swap out the launch rails for proper launchers, or ditch the 140 missile magazine for more launch rails.
