But you are still trying the diplomatic way, aren't you?

Going against an opponent at least as fast as our scouts while being 5 times as big as our largest ships does not sound promising

Yes, of course... our diplomatic team is working non-stop, and relations are still improving (at least at this end) and have reached +62.36

 

[unmerged(21821)]

We should attack the monstrous beasts who ravaged our peaceful scouts with their sensors as soon as we have around ten ships to beat them senseless with! And not stop until we bombard their homeworlds into submission!

Also, we should make that seditious traitor and infamous alien-lover Stuckenschmidt walk the space-plank!

:rofl: ... and they CHASED me too! I kept shouting "If you touch me there, I'll scream!" but they wouldn't stop!

Woohoo, that means that I havn't bungled the diplomatic visit yet.

Maybe I do got some of the James T. Kirk mojo with the alien ladies....

some species just can't take NO for an answer

OK, since we still haven't laid down any Light Carriers... our Cruiser build isn't quite done yet... I've been dicking around with my Mountain class Light Carrier design. Instead of carrying eleven Spitfires, it now carrier six Spitfires and four of the heavier Hurricanes, which have an active radar on-board. So the Fighter squadron can divide into two wings, each with two radar-equipped Fighters and three "blind" Fighters, totaling ten aircraft all together. The Hurricanes can illuminate the targets for the Spitfires, if the combat takes place outside the illumination range of the Command Ship.

I've also dicked around a bit with the Command Ship design.

 

[stamasd]

mmmmm... not a very satisfactory solution, though.

How's this for a Command/Point Defense ship?

Is that your Awacs design? If so, why no passive EM sensors?

I`m sorry, but I still have to deliver a load of champagne and filled chocolates to these charming twin sisters in Groombridge. I know, I know, its incredibly exhausting to improve our inter-racial relationship personally, but I`ll do anything for my country.

Lord Emu,

In light of the recent events, I have humbly taken the opportunity to submit my design for the official flag of our diplomatic corps. I hope you find it acceptable. I personally find it to be a perfect symbol and attitude of the fighting spirit and unyielding attitude of our peaceful liberals.

You`re just jealous, that we`ve got cool dates.

Here comes Ärjylä with an enacting of rule 34.

Join the diplomatic corp, we aim to please.

Oh, it looks like it's really getting tense! Took a while to read up on everything though If there are any openings, I would like to fill any that relates to production, mining or the economy in some way. Or a researcher I guess. No, onwards, to glory!

 

[Seli]

Did the explorers get the recognition they deserve? During all the excitement they seem to have discover oodles of orbiting bodies.

This sounds like a better plan for a carrier. Anyway, a question:

Is it possible to bolt a mass driver on a ship, and use that as a massive bombard against planets? Can the parcels so shot be blocked with anti ship / anti missile missiles? What would the effects of such attack be?

 

[darthkommandant]

I dont believe the diplomats are whores. They are just our way of making our enemies distracted while we prepare to conquer, pillage and destroy their puny alien empire for the glory of the Greater Earth Empire under the leadership of the Great Leader blue emu. As an answer I don't think one can put a mass driver on a ship and use it to bombard planets. We can place rail-guns and Gauss cannons on ships though but I have no knowledge of their affects on planets.

 

[Gen.Schuermann]

What wonderful (and frightening) news! Been gone for 2 days and BAM aliens in your face. And I made first contact! Holy moly.

MSG ESN Copernicus @ Groombridge 34 to Fleet Ops Survey /to be relayed to Family
My good wife
using remaining relay power
made contact with alien race
on the run towards Ross jump point
fear for my life but prepared to die
God is merciful
I love you my good wife.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
- Cmdr Schürmann out
MSG ends XXXXX

And a spelling nazi anecdote. It's Schuermann, not Schwuermann
You'll get it right one of these days, old man
