talking about ships again lol

For Destroyer :> why not hit targets with lots of Deut. This would cover the cost of sending destroyers?
shields are better, better cargo, weapons,armour. yes Speed is slower, not as slow as a rip :-)

And protects your LCs better than a BS?

1000 Ds would collect 2 mill cargo, you need 1333 BS to collect same. approx.


and one question that has been bugging me

when attacking, if you send recyclers and they live do they collect the DF at same time?(it would save time,my guess no?)

well if u can supply the deut for the destroyers i dont see why not,with all these turtes these days it seems like everyone is selling deut so not really a problem there

and no if u send ur recyclers with the attacking fleet it wont collect the debris what u could do is time the recs to just hit a few seconds after ur fleet hits

Battleships are always better than destroyers, believe it or not.

Here are the costs of ships, just in metal units:

BS - 70,000

DS - 205,000

You can build 2.9 BS, per 1 DS. To make the math simple, it's a 3:1 ratio. Now simulate what you want, as long as techs are the same. 3:1, 3,000:1,000, 30,000:10,000, it doesn't matter. The BS will run circles around the DS like no one's business. And as far as cargo space goes, thats out the window too. A 3:1 ratio allows me to pick 4500 resources to your 2000.


- Uses half the deuterium

- Goes twice as fast

- Pound per pound, will carry more than twice the amount a DS can carry

- And pound per pound, will beat out the DS

i can see why some people like BC.

you do find most targets have low Deut.

Must be cheapest fuel cost and you could send 50 percent speed!.

you would need a lot of them?

Ohh the shields are double BS. They have got these ships quite balanced.

you forgot to mention you need less Ds in an attack because of weapons and sheilds. (less cost?)

Now im switching to BS!! .

you are correct, does adding LC make any difference to the ship choice??

without a shadow of a doubt battleships are the best bet, a mass battleship fleet is still superior. no other type of ship can be build in large enough numbers and at a better cost than battleships to be a threat in the game. tried simulating ships against some of these big turtles lately?

battleships are superior in every way to any ship

their deut consumption is still superior, say to the battlecruiser, that everyone adores for its low flight cost, when you think about the amount of deut it took to build the bc's and that it will be lost forever if you lose them. cost to cost, battleships are still superior in the fuel consumption area too.
