I concur on the ECCM / ECM / sensor / fire control upgrades. Next: Missiles, and running out of them. We need a missile carrier; had our carriers not lost its fighter force, we would have been dry really early. And it ought to be a fighting vessel, with decent armour to fly with the main battle group and restock on the go.

My best reading of the situation is that the enemy chronically underestimate how many missiles they need to take out the Rocks, thus fire what they deem sufficient for a "first strike", then switch target (since they think enough missiles have been fired). By the time Rock-A gets hit, they have run out of missiles already firing on other targets.

Please Emu,
Give a look at this idea of mine,
Mini Rocks, ie FAC which are transported by one of your Carriers (10 of them in 6000 ton hangar) and launched in battle to soack up enemy fire:
... it is hard to tell without knowing exactly how close we cut it on ammo.

We entered the system with nearly 1000 ASM. We left with 179.
These look very useful. It will take time, though, since we are only now researching an earlier (Nuclear Pulse) GB engine.
EDIT: actually, now that I've checked... we are only now researching "Fast Attack Engine", the base-level tech.
Shouldn't the other 2 threads be moved to the same place though? It will be weird to navigate back and forth through several lebvels on this bulletin board just to see if someone posted something in the other threads. Especially with the slightly unusual layout of these forums.
What I meant with my comment was if we have a dedicated jump tender, we can free up space on the Agincourt for more armour and weapons.

BTW what are you exactly researching right now ?
And what are you planning to research in the next round ( as soon as you finish the on-going ones) ?
