Yo, wondering if you got my PM.

In other news, I was wondering how fleet warfare is conducted in this RP- are weapons primarily laser-based, are missiles used extensively and can engagements take place in BSDR environments?. How much firepower and shielding does an average vessel hold, and how many vessels are in an average fleet?

EDIT:
Just so the Operator doesn't remain faceless, here's a 5min sketch of her without her suit on.

@hat

Oh crap, my response didnt go through x.x ok ill recreate that...

Anyway, alot of the details you seek are in the bottom of more details in the OP
I think I posted the fleet sizes of Delta and compared the others.
Each Strike Fighter Division has 200 ships about.
The flagship of any fleet is a Iupiter class (which is as long as Earth's diameter)
The armament is heavy for most cruisers. The entire fleet of Delta has a total of 1.35 trillion heavy cannons (mix of regular Aura based and missiles.)

The rest should be in the OP.

Also there is only 8 Iupiter class cruisers in the galaxy (and this shall remain true as a single Iupiter can shift the tide of war.

Hey Cucoo, maybe you should reply in the IC. Just a tip.




Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.

You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

I just noticed that parallels can be drawn between John and The Operator, as well as their AIs.

Yes, I'm so bored, I'm drawing parallels between various characters. (I'll get over it. :p)

Damn, that's a lot of firepower. I may have to go to plan B for maintaining the Corporation's combat capabilities. There's nothing on the range of the Cruiser's weaponry, however. Assuming that the weapons are laser-based because Aurora Energy, are we talking unlimited range with dissipating power over time, or a more unrealistic limited range approach?

Also I don't think your PMs are getting through.

@hat

just a suggestion. Combat capabilities does not have to be fire power, for example, Nhiome's fleet is all based on being fast enough to escape or avoid being hit while shooting at the opponent.

Of course. I had originally thought of fleets which were around 50-100 ships in size. The Corporation doesn't like to draw attention to itself, which means most of their vessels were built in secret and lack most qualities desired of a standard military vessel. They utilise different tactics and possess superior technology, though, to give a hint of what their main battle tactics would be.
