the AI friendly fire contest
« on: March 29, 2012, 11:45:33 AM »

I've 2 paragons with 4 Tachyon lances each. They are elite backstabbers!! In a single battle they killed all my 4 frigates and a destroyer, 4 tempests one shotted and 1 medusa with assiduous firing. They also like to target the back of my Conquest disabling my engines.
Now I have only fighters and capital ships... everything in the middle is killed by the crossfire. YEEE

Keep everything back to guard your paragons and just use something like a few wasp wings to scout for them.  Enemies probably won't even get close.

Yeah, I noticed this. In my fleet where I play around with this, I run around with a Tachyon Paragon, a Tachyon Odyssey, and crapload of fighters. I fly around a Tempest for scouting purposes, and almost always have my shield pointing backwards when I spot enemies.

Broadswords and Thunders as well to do damage.

Unfortunately it's usually me the player who's doing all the friendly fire... Stuffing a torpedo to your frigate's rear is never a good idea...

Using mods, got a battleship (capships) with 8 pilum launchers.
They exhaust fuel right in front of a conquest and become stray warheads, i one shotted my own conquest with 24 missiles in the same *** square feet of armor.

i've been using the timcorp mod and one of the capitals comes standard with 3 tachyon lances, he has a notorious way of putting scratches in my paint. ( in the timcorp mod the capital i use has so much armor that a single tachyon lance shot does diddly crap.)

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.
