piranhas trying to bomb a tempest
« on: November 27, 2018, 07:54:17 AM »
Sorry I didn't get a pic, but I was playing a random battle; I had a couple basic carriers and put piranhas on them. There were various targets to choose from, including large, slower ships, but I see  piranhas trying to bomb a tempest. (I hadn't put any assignment on the tempest or assigned any target for fighter strike, I think)

It went about as well as could be expected.

Astral's worth of Flashes can eventually catch a Tempest (much sooner than it runs out of CR). So attacking a Tempest with 'free-fall bombers in general' is is not entirely useless. Though I agree that it's bad target selection when other options are available.

I've also seen some cluster bombers trying to bomb shades with low flux. Just... no. Not unless there are zero good targets.
