Huh? I'm baffled. Rolling Eyes

All these numbers are too big for my little mind, but I don't think 1000 dreadnoughts with armageddons will kill 1 billion battleships (or scouts, for that matter), even if the battleships are unshielded and sport only a single laser on each. Assuming the battleships have adequate movement to engage the dreadnoughts, of course. 1 billion is an awfully big number - I doubt 1000 dreadnoughts has anywhere near enough missiles to kill them all before the remainder of those 1 billion weapon platforms come into play, probably taking out the 1000 dreadnoughts in a single volley.

So, I can't back it up mathematically, but I'm betting my money on the 1 billion laser-armed scouts. All I know for sure is that my money is a lot less than 1 billion anything. Laughing

It was a frivolous discussion at the point where lasers came into the mix, anyways. Actually, at the point where 1 billion battleships came into the mix (and if you ask Deuce, it became frivolous at the point where 1000 dreadnoughts were put into the mix). Sheesh, next thing ya know someones going to point out the fleet limitations and battleboard overload, etc. Twisted Evil

Oh, and if ya wonder why I spelled out "billion" with letters instead of numbers, remember whose talking, here. Laughing (how many zeroes is that, again?)



I'M NOT AN EXPERT AND I'M OFTEN PROVEN WRONG. TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN YOU READ MY POSTS.
Math? Confused Ummm, sure! Nod I do FREESTYLE math.
