Star Swarm

(1/1)

Andrew:
I have run into some rather odd Star Swarm, so far 8 ships of 3 classes encountered with a minimum tonnage of about 9000 tons. Still very fast about 4 times faster than my fleet at 16,000kms and armed with some hideosly long range beam weapons at 560,000km (double my maximum range) they have a spinal weapon doing 14 and another weapon doing 4 . They managed to drop the hit probablity of my 25,000kms missiles down to 0 so I suspect very good ECM although those missiles had no ECCM.
What was odd was no fighter/FAC class vessels , had anyone else run into a swarm like that? I would have thought they were invaders except for the race picture and that the ship which somehow got into close beam range of me left no wreck , and they are eating wrecks.
The 9000 ton ship is clearly an escort with 10cm laser equivalants, the 20,000 ton ship a beam combatant with 11 heavy lasers(42 damage) and a 94 damage spinal laser. The other class encountered is a none combatant, reasonably certain I have not run into the Queen yet. I have run away to hide on the other side of a jump point

GrandNord:
Star swarms don't just have FACs, you probably encountered their cruisers and escort destroyer equivalent. And yes, they are pretty terryfying to face head on.
This is normal, not all star swarm fleets will have hive ships and FACs, that makes full combined swarm fleets pretty tricky to deal with.
