it is me again  with another question
what happens to the special abilities of some ships if they fight against other classes first?
for example:
in my persuit of total world domination I send some Dominators, some Plasma Gunships and a Mantis and of course a mothership against a base with a lot of fighters, detroyers and cruisers.
Now, the dominators and PGs should be attacked by the fighters, as I don't have class 1 and 2 ships. So it should be their turn pretty soon, the Dominators jam 2 enemy class 3 (whatever that is good for) and does it time warp thing. Then the PG's destroy an enmy class 3 each. When it is the Mantis turn, it destroys all class 4, including my own mothership, all motherships of the enemy, all his buildings and I get roughly a million points.
Right? |

No, the mantis will destroy all class 4 ships, his transwarp and his array, but not his shipyard or his research centre. In fact I think you have pretty much designed a point loseing fleet.
The lots of fighters will make a mess of your class 3, although the plasma gunships will each kill a class 3 ship.
You wont have a thing left, he will still have most of his stuff. |

The answer is: "Yes and no".
Yes, ALL ships do their special thing no matter vs which class they fight.
And Not Quite, as the manual states on the mantis matter:
| Quote: | | since the buildings at your homeplanet are positioned between your class 4 ships, this ship affects them also, only your research center and shipyard are big enough to withstand the explosion |
So, you won't kill the shipyard and the research center, only def-array, TWG, motherships etc.

thanks, that clarifies things
and may I point out at this point, that I designed the fleet for educational purposes only. In fact just to clarify things to me. I wouldn't send such a fleet into a real battle (I hope)
thanks |

~sigh~
the million was a dramtic exegaration, mate, not a true estimate
~shakes head about earnesty in the world and goes back to cunningly planning total domination~
just to prevent misunderstandings:
- yes, I am aware that the universe is not a world
- yes, I am aware that I can not dominate the world
- but I can still be very cunning |
