Why not give this job to the assault ship? It's already poorly/never utilised and this would cement its role as a FARP-style ship that mostly avoids direct combat itself. Make the heavy nan forward-firing only on the AS and give it a 3k range. Hmmm, cloaked remote nanning. :iluv:

Newer X45s, X52s, etc all have auto-calibration built in. I've had an (older) X45 for about three years so far with no calibration problems yet.

True++. Until you try to win a DM by spamming 50 towers in the DM sector, you'll have nothing on Jimmy. /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

QUOTE (ImmortalZ @ Feb 5 2007, 01:44 AM) Correct. Carriers don't resupply parts for other ships. They depend on certain templates set in the core.
OK, thanks.

One problem I've seen with capitals deployed over long distances is resupply. The cruiser/MF/dest runs out of missiles, the skycaps run out of ammo, etc and they need freighters/scouts to bring some, or they rip back home and lose their useful position.

Yes, a 3.5 hour game. At least it counted. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

We blew at least 2 adv exps, got their tac just in time, and had some great home defence versus SBs. sob_larry was king of the TP2 drop.
