What was it Cassius Clay or, Muhammad Ali (as he become to be known once, he became a Muslim) used to say?

Float like a Butterfly, sting like a Bee.

Stick and move is how they do it in boxing, stick and move.


Actually, I have a little secret about how to go about getting this done without a lot of stress in the process.

Good going on the Battleship kill. No Commander?

Looks temptig. I wonder if those battleships can be taken out with a daggerII? I think Doom might want to try it sometime. but he doesn't have a top notch sheild generator or good armor yet. He doesn't even have the fire-power. the Mk-7 power plant doesn't let you use many heavy guns. I'm sure whne he's better equiped he'll get the fever.

They are not as easy as it looks, any of them, no matter what faction but, they are definitely harder than Nomad Battleships. Besides, I have a secret on how I do it and I'm not tellin'.

I seriously doubt you will do it in the D. II.

I never really had much success with them myself, but I am wondering if they might have a Blind spot, say behind Engines, where a player might avoid being shot up while killing them??

(just wondering)

Just remember, they have help so, that would sort of be hard to do. But, that's not how I do it even though, I've done it like that before.

As I recall, when in SP Mode, the BS at Takagies Base, players had to Duck Under it near the Launch Bay. Other Fighter ships could not hit you there, and the BS could not get a lock. After it fell, you could dock with the base. (Before the fighters could get a lock on you since you were now in the clear...)

Well, I've only tried it that once, lately and haven't been trying all that much. Cost too damned much to have to keep replacing my class 10 shield all the time at 10 mill a pop, not to include repairs.

Losing shields is a real possibility when taking on battle fleets. I've lost several of them myself. But now I keep a spare one in my hold because I don't usually dock at a shipyard after the fight. My latest fleet killer has taken down 50 of them already.
The last shield I bought cost 185M. I had to run the gauntlet through nomads to get it as well. So I'm hoping to keep that one for a while.
