Paragon and Onslaught are rather self explanatory as well.

Would this work in a similar way to the Total War series? If so, then I agree.

That was awesome! I liked how you described the battle, both cinematicly, and from the enemy's point of view. Most stories i have seen about battles on these forums (granted, not many) tell the story from the victorious side. Also, being a fan of the Conquest, i am thrilled by the outcome.

Give it hardened shields, and it's unstoppable.

aah, thank you.
here is the source of my curiosity,
follow up question:
The ship designs we have seen so far are generally geared towards space combat, but there are some (Valkyrie, Atlas) that are suited for other roles. Are there ships that are specifically suited to bombing planets and asteroids, or would they just sort of rig up a Dominator with a bunch of Reapers?
here is the source of my curiosity,
-How are "independent" systems governed (like Exar, I mean). Do they have things under control? Are pirates particularly rampant in worlds not controlled by hegemony or tri-tachyon? Is the hegemony actually doing Exar a favor by taking it out of the incompetent hands of the Exar High Command (Does Exar High Command even exist?)
They have things under control, as much as anyone else. The Hegemony isn't doing Exar any favors, though - the government in that world has collapsed, and restoring it to order is something beyond the power of anyone in the Sector to do. The Hegemony fleet is coming to glass the decivilized world, to remove it as a destabilizing influence - otherwise its industrial facilities/tech may fall into the hands of undesirable elements, it'll serve as a source of manpower for pirates and such, refugees will flood nearby worlds, etc.

how do the factions glass planets? planets are pretty big, and from the discussion on scale, the ships are not much bigger than most ships today.
do they use some sort of special missiles or bombs?
For ships above frigate size 1 pixel = 1 meter works pretty well. It corresponds with docking fighter sizes and the windows you see. I say docking fighter because they usually are above the battlefield, you only see the real size the moment they dock on/launch from a carrier, it's about half as big.
e/ That makes the Paragon ~360m long. Fighters 12-21 m.

The MD Device, from Ender's Game. No ship will be safe.

1. Repair. The ability to shut down your ship mid-battle, maybe even maxing flux, in order to slowly repair it.
i really like this one, especially since it is something i see a lot in movies and things with ships in combat.

Suggestions / Re: NEW C2 (Command & Control) Assignment suggestion
« on: September 29, 2012, 06:26:52 AM »4. Arrow leading from nearest strike capable ship or bomber wing to enemy shipI have a problem that it's not necessarily the nearest or most convenient ship that gets the assignment, but
sometimes it'll be a ship alll the way across themap, or already engaged.
Not sure if this is the same problem mercy has, but it is my biggest gripe with the game currently.

Being both an avid reader and a gamer, most of my favorite fantasy book characters have been to skyrim/oblivion by now...
