Happiness is...
« on: February 20, 2016, 07:56:29 PM »

1 Shade and 4 Wolf!  ;D

i fly the Shade of course, with 5 tactical or Trishkula Lasers.
Wolfs all with 1 Graviton Beam and 3 Tactical lasers.

in a fight i can tell all 4 Wolf to escort me.
or just 1, and the other 2 escort the other Wolf, so to have two different point of attacks

fun, fast, flexible, cheap.
very profitable!

i go from system to system.
hunting down bounties, Pirates and Ludic Path freaks!

Laser fan, huh? I'd imagine that'd work fine until you meet ships with great shields/flux venting. :O But yeah, a laser Wolf with Annihilator pods and Point Defense AI so all those lasers can pop missiles is pretty nice.

...The rays of sunshine that come down when you're feeling blue.

or

Lasers, lasers everywhere.

I can't help myself. I always boost their damage by 1.6x (1.5x for flux :P) to make them slightly more assault worthy.

... A XIV variant fleet, wiping the floor with everything that dares show its non fancy colored face.        Or

... Finally finding that Ace variant ship you've been looking for. ( we need more of those...)

When you can't go on, just accept your doom. It comes to all, it is inevitable.

Also I totally had the name BEFORE the cruiser.

Killing an enemy Wolf before it gets a chance to fire missiles or skim away.

...Pushing the enemy fleet so far back that when they bring in their Supercapital ship, it smashes into their other capital ships and they all explode in a glorious fireball.

... finding a use for a ship/weapon you previously considered "useless".

Take Tiandong's Wuzhang Cruiser. The ship has - or rather IS - a giant low-velocity HE cannon. However, the projectile is laughably slow, and anything capable of anything resembling an evasive maneuver will dodge it. However, on a no-missile weapon playthrough (I turn them into ballistic/energy mount depending on the ship). Missile more or less make them obsolete. A bit of min-maxing turns it into an almost unbeatable sniper against anything cruiser or larger.

I have three timid officers in them, and they'll rip apart anything that gets into its huge range. The explosive radius is wide enough to take out entire fighter wings on a lucky hit; And the fire rate is high enough to continually shell incoming enemies who get tied up by my other forces (Which is a Desdinova Flagship, A Pony, and a few Circe freighters armed with mining lasers).

i love the 5 frigate fleet!

when i know a fight is gonna be tough, i tell the 4 Wolf to escort my Shade.

my job is to position the whole set piece and keep them alive, and pick out the flankers one by one.
cloaking makes the job so much easier as i can fly through my own ships for perfect positioning of my mini-fleet.
