I can squeeze another round of manufacturing during that time. So it is MK CM in a month. You better upgrade your ship as well.  |

Not that far for sure. At 11.3M RP per level beyond CCL, you can't upgrade your lasers that much. I'm pretty sure that I make more RP/hr than you as well. LOL

Don't assume the laser tech you see on his ships is his max he can build. Considering the long build time he likely has gotten the tech up much more since then. Personally I think you both are focusing too much on the lasers themselves. I think after a certain point it is just best to stop for a while so you can get around to upgrading your other ships to about the same tech level. This can help to maximize money from COMs. Not to mention make better uses of your bays. If your constantly getting higher on each ship upgrade your just ending up with even longer build times meaning it takes that much longer to get out making the solars. That is just my opinion though. If you want to focus on making a couple super ships that is your alls business. lol |

Not to someone like me. Haha Besides, at my level, building super ships is one of the very few things left that remains interesting to do until updates come out.

Just a heads up, I will park SSS Predator over Jupiter this coming Friday, and it will stay there over the weekend. You can attack it if you're still around. Staying over the weekend will also give you enough time to come out from your hiding place in the outer rings.LOL |

SSS Predator is now orbiting Jupiter.
If you are not too scared Dadds, it's time for you to come out from your hiding place. LOL

Low shields? It has 10,860,656 shield, and considering it is only a battlecruiser ship with only 58 module slots, I don't really consider it low on shields.  |

Thx for the offer Ralph, my 26 warships are all doing COM missions right now. What I would be curious about is a battle with 2 ships per side. I did one with a warship and an unarmed scout protected and the first round of combat was done by the scout!!!!!! I lost the battle. My warship had all the power needed to dispatch the 5 ennemy ships. In my opinion the combat system is still brooken. And the numbers given by my scan was ATT 16 millions, DEF 6 millions for a total power of 15.5 millions; if those numbers are not right, there is an other bug!
I did the calculations by hand and the scann should have shown DEF at 10.5 millions (30 Adv shd MK 300 at 189375 each: 30 * 189375 * 1.85 = 10.5 mil) and ATT 24 viper MK 800: 24 * 401500 * 1.85 * 1.65 = 29.4 mil. total power = (30 * 189375) + (24 * 401500) = 15.3+ mil.

 Some of this stuff makes no sense sometimes. We had a guy lose a com with 40:1 odds a while back and that was hard to make sense of as well.

40:1 odds means that there is a 1% chance of victory for the weaker side, and it does occasionally happen that that side is victorious...

Yeah even when they all have mk1 marines and you have mk30 shields and a compliment of similarly higher weapons.
