Hi!

Ok, finally got time to do first test results.
...snip tests...

I've checked your testbeds. IMO you didn't play fair. Your DDs have DLL-7 engine, but your CCs only FM and TWO MJs, too much investment for the gained firepower. Most certainly I'd design CCs differently: AD-8 engine, 6 beams, rest shields. And to counter your DDs I'd use FFs with Yaks or even two Blackjacks, and not CCs. Would also build forts with BJs and some sappers in order to kill/damage your DDs.

However I'd wait for Jihad CCs before committing more resources to shipbuilding, but the very minimum needed. I'd even let you have orbits of my border planets until you wouldn't have bombers in your fleets and would send suicide attacks against them when they'd arrive. With the amount of FP fleets have my ships would easily kill all your bombers before being destroyed. After devoting most resources to research I'd get Jihads in 2-4 turns and in 4-6 I'd have a fleet of Jihad CCs, coupled with a dozen or two all-sapper 1.5 speed DDs on their way to my besieged border planets, singing "Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do...". Wink

BR, Iztok
