Tronks_!: if you Have 1 hammer And a lot Of bounty hunters ???? whats hapend? Whit the enemy Clas 3, 2 If ... tip you 500 bounty hunters and the hamer enemi 500 clas2 adn 30 clas 3 ... BladeTech: nothing unless your class 1 fights directly against their class 2 & 3 blackmagic: does the hamer only activate when attacked? I've been having a hard time making it activate. EX: If i had 20 fighters and 1 hammer and the other guy had 21 fighters, when my 1 hammer faces the 1 fighter, will it activate before it get killed or do i need to have the same amount of fighter as he does so my hammer don't get killed before it shots? BladeTech: its random so i dont think it makes much difference, just increases the chance BladeTech: i just meant increase the chance it wont be shot down. but then the chances it gets to fire at all decrease. i guess the best way is to have two hammers? blackmagic: you can have only one hammer BladeTech: you can have more, but only one activates i think. the rest sd. wait lemme check Bogart: That is right only one can operate, but, unless it is the first ship shot, or, you have more class one than the other guy, it should always get its turn. Like if you have 1000 fighters and a hammer, and the enemy has 100 fighters, it is quite possible it would not fire at all. I suppose,but am unsure, that interceptors could possible damage it before it could shoot as well perhaps admin could tell us. BladeTech: only one can be operational but does that mean only one can exist in a fleet at a time? blackmagic: only one can exist in battle, but you can have more than 1 hammer in a fleet, but i don't see the point =) limsky: I wonder what happen when a hammer and a commando-fighter ship are in the same fleet. Does the hammer also get double fire power? blackmagic: the hammer has 2/1 then =) Yeah it would becuase the commando fighter modifies all class 1 by *2/1 i think Bogart: That would be the only change though, the commando would not affect the hammers damage to class 2 and 3

By stopping the C1 battle before all your ships get a chance to fight, you end up having some left over for the next battle. Also helps preserve your evaps from getting destroyed by other c1 ships and allows them to fight against the higher classes if they get modified by a c2 or c3 ship like the cyclops Renee Davis: "Well they are usefull.

The retreats held his losses down and the c1 blockage remains. BTW-you can use multiple retreat units and have your c1 survive about 3 penguin spams. This makes for excellent base fleet defense only a swank can get those retreats out and put in some evaps too and that attempt will be very costly for the attacker.

 

commando-fighter (class 1 ship) If commando-fighter takes its turn, all following fighters get double firepower.

It is a planned casulty, and the ememy would have been better off if it didn't happen. I cant believe that I got negative points when my fleet worked exactly as I wanted it to. I think that it should state that in the rules, because that seriously effects how I will play that ship. If it is in the rules, disregard all I say, because its my own fault then. PS- No matter how important it is to you, and how badly you want a commando-fighter to get its turn in early, and how many extra mp you have a surplus of, DO NOT sent 180 commando-fighters on an attack in the same fleet. Manyac: You hit the point! If you use ships like the Commando-Fighter, you calculate in those losses, and losses are always negative so it's ok if you loose points of them. And did you really send 180 Commis in one fleet? :)20 :)20 darklim: You can't see?! ALL extras commando fighter will self destruct so only 1 can be active!!!! T2: Will this fighter affect all C1 type fighters or just the basic fighter ship. Will a Kame have 70 hit points after the commando fighter triggers or will a blockade runner have 4 hit points after?

No, the commando fighter gives double attack power to all the ships after it. So yes a kami would have 70 AP, a penguin would have 8, a blockade runner would have 2, etc. I think Star Commander is thinking of the campaign ship. T2: Thanks...silly of me...I thought it worked the way you described Streacer however I looked at the description a number of times and failed to seee the ALL SHIPS part of the message. Thanks to everyone who replied BTW Evan's...love your avatar reminds me of the "BAD SANTA" movie Rubens: @T2 It says "any-ship type on ur own fleet" and that means ALL THE SHIPS.A kami has 35 ap, if the comando get his turn after somekamis attacked, those kamis attacked with 35 of ap the next ones wil attack with 70 it just a matter of lucky. And with kamis is really risky cuz you can lose your own comando fighter Spyder: I know one player who uses 10 commandoes with kams for base busting, sounds excessive, but he gets extra points each time. Rubens: spyder i am just getting sleeping my dear ex-leader...so explain me, was it sarcasm? IF not i think he dosn't get extrapoints, he already lose 90 with the other comando fighters and if he is using kamis, 100 more kamis will be the same:SS Spyder: He gets around 500+ for base destruction with kams, which is better than without the commandoes, but yes, its excessive. Rubens: I got to go...but for tomorrow let that explained. How the hell does he get more points? 10 comando fighters=100mp=100 kamis... I think not even with luck he gets more pts... Spyder: I'll have to try it on evans. But you only get about 350 or so usually with just kams. Rubens: Building socre=1000 With just kamis=400 how many kamis do u need to get 500+?? Com'on this player is already waisting 90 mp in comando fighters and he could win some more pts but with a very gooooooood luck;)

In battle, they will raise the lifepoints of such ships like the destroyer, the fighter and the eagle by 1, which can be very useful against the threat of apollo cruisers, which do 10 damage to 10 class 2 ships. For instance, if a normal destroyer (with 10LP) had a sporator in its fleet, it would become immune to the apollo cruiser becuase it would have one extra lifepoints (11LP). Only one sporator can be in any fleet and any additional sporators will be destroyed. Failtrip1: Only one sporator can be in any fleet and any additional sporators will be destroyed. You can have more then 1 sporator in your fleet BUT only 1 will get active.Once first gets active all others will be destroyed.Putting more then 1 sporator in fleet will increase early trigger of one. Senor: sporator makes class 2 immune to 1 apollo, but what if there are 2+ apollos. does the 2nd apollo attack the same ships by the battle order? colinthecorgi: Yes. Sporators effectively halve the apollos efficiency against 10LP c2s. Sporators have another beneficiary effect in combination with shields. Since shields will activate to protect _damaged_ ships (says the manual, although this is not exactly true, they sometimes activate anyway), they will actually be able to protect your expensive c2 ships from dying when facing destroyers. As you will maybe see an example of later in a GNN report, they are interesting in both c1 and c2 battles, and should be considered when planning action in c1 and c2. If you are new to the game you should compare the results of different ships and ship combinations fighting each other with and without sporation. linux666: " Sporators have another beneficiary effect in combination with shields.

I'm the greatest spammer of Space Trace Forum. But i think it are a "bug" man_mod: The Kamikaze is a very destructive ship but as with other Self destructing ships should be used with caution. Due to it's immense fire power of 35ap as a class 1 ship the kamikaze is best used to fight against the higher classes ideally class 3 or 4, as most of these have higher lp than 35. So the best use for them is to keep them in a secondary(or third) fleet and by themselves to be used after you have eliminated the enemy's class 1 and 2. This due to the Self destuctive behavior of the ship. For every enemy ship a Kamikaze attacks, it will destroy itself and a further 2 more random class 1 ships in your own fleet. So it is strongly advised that you do not use this ship to fight in it's own class, as for every enemy class 1 you will destroy (+(1) point) you will lose 3 kamikaze (-3 points) The kamikaze can be used against class 2, but with minimal postive results. Other class 1 ships can make a much more posative score for this job. Here is an example of the profit of attacking class 3. " your class 1 vs enemy class 3 : you: 200 kamikaze (35/1, 1 MP) enemy: 14 cruisers (100/100, 60 MP) 42 kamikaze destroy 84 ships 42 kamikaze vs 14 cruisers 14 cruisers vs 14 kamikaze losses: you : 140 kamikaze enemy : 14 cruisers score in this subbattle: 700" So your calculation for this battle should be done as such : 14 (amount of cruisers) x 3 (kamikazes needed to destroy 1 cruiser) 42 x 3 (kamekazes self destructing per cruiser) destroyed) + 14 (amount of cruisers) = 140 That is the construction of the calculation. The sum fortunatly can be simplified to 14 x 10. (for cruisers) for attacking other class 3/4 ships/buildings the calculation should be corrected accordingly. You should always take a few extra kamikazes then calculated to compensate for the random battle order (who shoots first). It's also a good idea to use Commando Fighters along with kamikazes as it will double their firepower to 70/1 when activated. the best way to counter kamikaze is with C1 killers such as the Cyclops or the Spectre. Another way is simply to attack them with standard fighters. admin: the kamikaze should get the kill syntax instead of -1100LP. cause it should kill 2 of your ships in any case, no effect should counter this

BladeTech: can you use it against class 5? wildwes11: I think prophets should destroy all ships except other prophets. Otherwise this ship is no use to me. It takes too long to get anywhere unless you use a mothership and then when you destroy a building, you get very little net points especially if one hits a defense array or transwarp network. Allow me to send 4 or 5 in a fleet and it makes it a very worthwhile ship. Otherwise, I will continue to use other ships to do this work for me. JaM: They do destroy everything, except class 5. But since only the admins (the travellers) use class 5 it can still destroy everything. Lou of East from West: They should kill class 5... This way there is no point of killing travellers.

I know they will only attack in the second battle, but... Let me put it this way: Will my virusses attack in the beginning of the second battle or will i have to wait till the end of each classfight of the second battle. Please, no senseless answers anymore!! Rubens: hi kephch the nano virus only attack in the secon battle because they are self destruction but never you lose score with this beacuse a plague ship emites the nano virus destroyed or not destroyed so 100 class 1 ) 10 class 2 ) and 1 class 3,if the players have 99 fighters and 100 nanoviruses the nanoviruses self destruction and he lose 99 fighters but u re nanoviruses are completly destroyed so the plague ship always is destroyed, well no always but many times so if the player have a a fleet with 200 fighters 800 or more class 2 and 10 class 3 you send a fleet with a class 1, a class 2 and 2 plague ship and obvius amothership or time slipper or anything, then you send a second fleet but if youhave for example 10 apollo cruseros i recomend you send a class 1 a class 2 and a class 3 but if you wnat 7 apollo cruseros, and a major recontructor or only a mothership then if he attack first he lose the 200 fighters because the nanoviruses and you no lose the fighters after you lose a class 2 but he loss 20 class 2 then you lose a class 3 but he lose 2, and in the final of the battle you win a score of 400 aprox.. the best way to use the plague if when the player have many class 1 and class 2 and if you have amajor is very good. but remember you win 400 but before you lose 240. And to evite the nanoviruses you go to home and recycle this ships Rubens: :grin: but remeber the nano viruses after they are relases they not only battle with you if already player attack after you first battle and before the second he have the beneficious, and the score KEPcH: Thanks man! Rubens: you welcome and thanks for you i not remember of this ship, so now i researching the plague ship is very good vs a example 1000 class 1 20 class 2 with 10 plague ship is goooood. And another thing the nanoviruses is how a cyclops he dont make damage he destroy. if the player have 500 sporator and 1 bulk fighter the nanoviruses destroy the bulk fighter :smile: KEPcH: Is this normal? your class 1 vs enemy class 1: you: 2 bulk fighters enemy: 884 fighters 600 nano viruses 2 bulk fighters vs 2 fighters 6 ships destroyed by a nano virus???? Why do only 6 fighters get destroyed if i sent 600 virusses to kill them?? But... your class 3 vs enemy class 2: you: 40 cruisers enemy: 38 destroyers 60 nano viruses 24 cruisers vs 24 destroyers 1 cruiser vs 1 nano virus 36 ships destroyed by a nano virus They did destroy all the destroyers, why not all the 600 fighters??? Rubens: this can be a topic to the bug reports and as to admin fr wht ocure this. i think is how apollo crusero or cyclops or otherships. if the cyclops not be destroyed or best say not be attcked dont make damage maybe for this has ocure. but sinserily i dont know :)27 Achilles: I dont believe that it is a bug. The way I understand it is the nano-viruses act like ships in your fleet. They can be moved from fleet to fleet and can be recycled like your ships. They act in random order along with your fleets. When it is their turn they destroy one of your own ships. The reason they did not destroy any more ships in your class one battle is that the battle ended before more had a chance to act. Once your entire class one was destroyed, the class battle was finished, leaving the nano viruses in his fleet unable to act. KEPcH: So, if i get that right, and for example, he has 1000 class1, i should take 500 class1 fighters in my fleet for my 500 class1 virusses to attack? Achilles: You still would not be guaranteed to get them all. Dont forget, the nano viruses act with his fleet. Once your class one was empty, the class battle ends.

Though you will sacrifice a 60 point loss, the evasor (when activated) ends the class 2 battle immediatly and thus saves your Class 2 to fight the next battle. The evasor can also be used effectively to block your opponents from bombarding your Class 3 or 4 with destructive class 1 or 2 ships. Can be a useful weapon and frustrating (for your enemy) to keep a few of these at home to protect your base. The Evasor is best countered by attacking it indirectly, i.e; attacking it from another class with such ships as the Sabotage fighter (class 1) or the Apollo Cruiser (class 3)

Tofu: Are those battledrones put at the end of your class 3 ships or are the shuffled? Is the "shuffle"-command integrated in the "create"-command? We are Bjork: I think they come after the cluster not shuffled Tofu: If i use a cluster-cruiser and 10 cruisers and, lets say, the cluster-cruiser fights first. Who fights second, a cruiser, a battledrone or is it random? If the battledrones are put at the end of your class 3 ships, they are completely useless to protect your ships. We are Bjork: No, they do protect your ships, but, the drones can be removed easily by a shock wave cruiser for instance. spacetrace: if a ship is created during battle it will be added (if it is added in the same class) right behind the creator-ship. soo a shuffle would make the cluster cruiser less effective. Gotsex: Why would anyone use a ship that does 10 damage put self destruct and you lose 40 mp? am i reading this correctly? does the cruser sd or just the drones? kamekaze6: the drones are good as they would draw away the firepower of ships such as cruisers and plasma gunships, but i would not suggest it s use vs lower classes unless i was ur enemy Cloudgatherer: Hate to ask something that is probably obvious BUT for clarity's sake I will noob it up: Does the Cluster-Cruiser self destruct or is it the battle drones it deploys that self destruct? admin: both: the cluster cruiser immediately selfdestructs (sd) and the battle drones destroy each other at the end of each subbattle of your class 3 see: http://manual.spacetrace.org/tec.php?details=1&tec_id=15&techname=battle-drone

 

jammer (class 3 ship) This vessel can jam enemy scans - on a deep scan probe it will cause a class 3 ship signature, but is has no effect in the battle. It will be destroyed before the battle starts. (caution! self destruction!) Attack/life: 0/0 Manpower: 4 Researchtime: 2 d Buildingtime: 11 h nanite-Technology Needed research: improved targeting Battle details: self destructs! (battle engine syntax: sd)     —> Forum Topic about this ship wildwes11: I see this ship emits a signature of a class 3 ship (since it is a class 3 ship). I don't really see the point to this ship. I understand you can make it look like you have a lot of class 3. Is this the only purpose for this ship? JaM: Yes the mp is only 4. So you can easily add 25 'cruisers' on a dsp for the price of 1 cruiser. (at least that is what the enemy thinks) Rubens: jammers never fight, they dont have a battle they auto self destruct before start of any battle so you cant fight with him, darklim: This is just a phantom ship (Only work if the enemy have a DSP in your planet of something like that, you know). The DSP will show how much class 3 you have ( If you build 20 Jammer and 1 Cruiser, the DSP will show 21 but in battle only the Cruiser fight) The Jammer don't fight... Remember that And yeah, you will lose 4 point for each Jammer in your fleet (Battle start and die) darklim: If you are Nanite, having a lot of class 3 mean: Dreadnought, Apollo Cruiser and Cyclops It is scary :grin: Senor: here's a question. could the jammer be used to cover your other c3 ships? lets say i have 10 cruisers and 10 jammers and the enemy has just 10 cruisers. from the syntax of the jammer i read that it needs to get a turn to selfdestruct. so lets say i'm lucky with the battle order and all my jammers get their turn before my cruisers. so the battle order for me is 10 jammers 10 cruisers. battle order for the enemy is 10 cruisers. battle would go like this: *enemy takes the first shot and destroys 1 jammer. *one of my jammers takes its turn and selfdestructs. *enemy cruiser destroys 1 jammer. *one jammer gets its turn and selfdestructs. and this continues until all my jammers are dead. then i have 10 cruisers left and enemy has 10 cruisers left, but 5 of enemy cruisers have already taken their turn, so i destroy 10 cruisers and enemy destroys 5 of my cruisers. I get 300 points for those cruisers and if i deduct the cost of 10 jammers i win 260 points total from the c3 subbattle. i know it says in the manual that jammers are destroyed before the battle, but from the syntax i read that it needs to get a turn to selfdestruct. colinthecorgi: Unless something has changed, it vanishes before the actual battle takes place. Thing is, it "draws attention", so the enemy c3 is not allowed to fire on your c4 even if your c3 actually is empty when the c3 vs c3 battle takes place. So it can be a real tricky ship, but only once of course :) DragonLilly: if this ship is allowed to take a turn and be fired upon then I do believe the MP needs to be severely raised to equal a c3 ship... that way the player attacking the jammers could actually make some points... 4MP isn't enough to put this ship into battle... not saying like 60MP or more like the cruiser but make it something worthwhile rather then just 4MP...

Cloudgatherer: 1) Does the Jammer's effect work when its in a Base fleet or only for mobile fleets? 2) Am I assuming correctly that it jams ONLY the Deep-Scan Probe and not other probes? admin: it jams all probes in all fleets (the base is also a fleet) the jam-effect is, that it seems like there is one more ship in class 3. although, if there is only this ship in class 3, there will be a class 3 balttle with it, so in some cases it could also prevent enemy class 3 ships from destroying your class 4 ships and buildings

So you lose 200 points by using this ship. mackman: dont keep the deconstuctor at home it recycles your buildings too. admin: and it only starts recycling if it gets a "shot" (like the penguins) if the deconstructor doesent shoot, it doesent start recycling

JaM: A battle ends when 1 of these 2 rules: 1 You OR your enemy doesn't have a ship left in the class that is fighting. 2 You AND your enemy doesn't have a ship left in the class that is fighting that CAN fight. If you fight against enemy's class 4 then then the second doomstar will blow up. If you fight against enemy's class 1,2,3 then not. darklim: What question is that? Two Doomstars!!! The Doomstars destroy all classes except class 4 LOL!!!! C.Kork: it's for the case that you want to fight 2 different fleets which are close to each other. if one would survive, you could use it in a second attack. darklim: 2300 x 2= 4600 + 320 = 4920 You base will be an easy target But the Doomstar is the best defender JaM: Another nice idea is to make a fleet with 1 mantis and no other ships. When you base is attacked the enemy will lose all class 4 ships. limsky: Jam - your nice idea cost you 350-320 =30 points. JaM: And for 30 points it will make sure the enemy doesn't move his fleet. This is by the way IF the enemy has only a mothership. For example a time slipper, major reconstructor, doomstar, pirate flagship, shadow star will gain points. darklim: Destroy the fleet slowly... Will make point And have a fleet that can destroy one Mothership to avoid the Mothership take out the ships You will got a lot of easy points Rubens: hey, for the newbies, (what is noob) the doomstar blow up!!! you cant put 2 in the same fleet beacuse you lose 2300 ptos, @jam:every time you fight vs class 4 , the first doom blow up vs class 1 and then vs class4 you lose the second!!!! @darklim if you have 1 1 1 in your base you base isnt vulenrable, and if you can build dooms also hol fleet carriers, put 1 or 2 of these in your base and you are secure. but i already say dont 2 dooms in a fleet so use clone labs, or a core driver fleetleader: I was just wondering if doomstar blows everthing up at begging or end of battle. Also 2 doom stars would both blow up? mackman: shoots in the class 4 battle and about 2 dooms I never used 2 at one time so dont know about that. fleetleader: So 900 fighters aginst a doomstar, the fighters would win? Weylyn: No, if it fights, it explodes. Even one figher would win, as it would blow up that single fighter, wasting all that manpower. mackman: As long as the MP of your fleet does not exceed the mp of the doom fleet you will win. blackmagic: Man people should look at the manuel more often. It shows the MP and it capabilities. The rest is logic :)20 fleetleader: Srry just wanted to know if you could disable it limsky: Yes just recycle at your base. fleetleader: I mean enmey doomstar doomstar: The only way to destroy a Doomstar is with a Mantis, assuming you have the first attack. :smile:3 Achilles: "The only way to destroy a Doomstar is with a Mantis, assuming you have the first attack." Think again. steven1982: Hehe yes, if a doomstar fights a fleet with only a mothership it will fire, so BOOOM! but it does not effect class 4, so you still have your mothership, and 2300 points extra for the doomstar :grin: Dutchbatter: And if someone is so stupid to use a doomstar and all mp for other ships in 1 fleet, just use 1 1 1 and mothership in your fleet and you will score more than 2300 points.

Metody I The Evil: Faster than a mothership, good in combo with the mantis or for refilling the fleet, now you don't have to send the two fleets /refilling and normal one/ to a coords in the middle between your base and the target, the point where they'll meet is closer to the enemy... Luis Abhorash: Yep, I think for refill your fleet darkwolf: uh... if I keep it in my base and its exploded... is going to destroy the buildings too? :smile:5 :smile: We are Bjork: Just dont keep it in your base fleet!! a spare fleet spot is ok, but u dont want to keep it around if you are having a battle, it is better off one sector away till you need it. It is for replacing ships away from your planet. darklim: This ship is designe to refill fleet Example: Your planet is A Your Ally planet is B And your Target is C Your fleet (principal) fight in C and returned to B And you send Fleet Tender to B (with ships) to refill the first fleet
