what if the research centre is allready destroyed is that when the self destruct comes into play?

Stupid never work ... when destroying bases you get minimal points anyway ... fleets are what you look for ... If you need this to level a base talk to a Noobie helper, they will tell you how...

And it destroys the same bluiding twice

Please no ... Try another

How can this:

And this:

In the same ship?

Well anyways I think it is quite nice. If you succeed you win 50 points and you killed the RC, and otherwise you lose 450 points yourself.

You take quite a gamble while doing this, cause you might loose nearly the worth of a RC yourself but if you succeed you killed a RC.

i like killing rc, with shipyard you can try to keep as much ships alive as possible, you can keep going for like 2 or 3 weeks but without rc you are nowhere

Then how does it happen a mantis or a doomstar or sometimes even a ms gets killed?


Oh damnd it doesnt got warp. So you need to send a ms with it.

Well then look at these situations ( especially Rubens ):
Code:
Well if you send this out with 1/1/1/1 you have the risk of 1/1/1 getting killed by enemie fleet 1 and your ms and thunderbird getting killed by enemies fleet 2.

If you send it with a full fleet, and the experience of the players is of no relevance, you are just a player that can use 450 less mp on their fleets then the enemie. So that would give you quite a chance of losing points during the battle making those 50 points gain useless

=========> It was easy 50 points you said?

You could just cover the fleet with nano viruses.... easy points...

If you are going to add it:
Decrease research time to around 2 d
Increase bluid time to around 14 - 18
and make it have less warp...

It drills into the RC which destroys the ship and it then destroys the RC. it should be first destroying the RC but it does not blow the same building up twice

Mantis is only for kazullas and check the ship statistics;)
A doomstar dosnt kill c4 William!
If you use nanovirsues of cluste rcruser or ships like those(SD) a mantis wont work.
Ehm sorry, but it does has warp
Only use of this ship:Destroy RC...and it destroys it TOO much easy. SO is too powerfull. But as it is SD you will always get just 50 pts. Too much useless!This just stop the using of the evolutions of the players.

Again, try another

Nope but they are both
- mantis
- doomie

they are both c4 that have the risk of getting killed when enemie c1, c2 and c3 aren't blocked.

Rubens wrote:

Ooooooops, no more beer for me


Code:
But again, if you send it alone it could get killed so no easy 50 points in that case

Even if you cover it, and the enemie got enough ships in other fleets you have the risk that it gets killed before fighting base fleet.

Only way of you using it safely is to use much mp and just send it with a normal attacking fleet. Cause it got warp you dont need ms so you dont have such a disadvantage in mp


But, what the hell am I talking about, even though me and Rubens had to fill in the gaps we both left ope, I agree on this ship being to powerfull

well you are wrong(In the things that you are not agree with me LOL!!!!!)
A mantis is class 3 So depends of how you use it it would be usefull if it gets its turn vs a c1 ship.
A doom should attack all the fleet so it dosnt matter if you dont use the 1/1/1 in you rfleet(except for emp fighters and...mmm, thats all?)
