Hey all,

While you are all veterans at this, Im scrounging the back of my brain to try and remember all of my SFB tactics from back in 89 and 90. The interveining 14 years have not been kind to my memory.

I normally play either Klingon or Romulan, because i like the cultures. However I do remember now some of my frustration with SFB. Now I know my Klingon fire arcs, and I know to keep in the 15-9 range. (question. Is 15.01-15.99 still considered 15 in SFC for ranges?). I know the strengths of my disruptors and how they fire twice as often as photons. I spend a lot of time running out in the 15 range, and doing the lazy "s" of the Saberdance. Both with Klingon and Romulan. I never lay up on fire, tring to have a voley every few seconds of something, in order to keep the enemy shields from regenerating. I use my ECM to try and get a shift, as long as I can keep my movement around 24.

It gets frustrating however, if you make *one* tactical error, and close at the wrong time, you get beaten down to the point of near non recovery.

So by picking these races I have allways felt as the "chased" not the "chaser", and often or not, more like the victim not the agressor. I know Im doing something right by having my opponent say "just CLOSE allready".

My quesion is, perhaps there is a different race I can try that is mostly agressive just to get the feel of it. I hate walking away from my honor filled Klingons, but I might want to try a different helm, just to shake things up a bit.

15.99 is just like 15.00

Try Lyran; very much like Klingon but with an up close and personal set of claws.

Lyran and Hydran both are nasty up close. Both are difficult to learn but worth the effort.

Well if I can get in on this next campaign, I will commit to be either a Klingon, or one of their allies (like the Lyrans). I cant seem to pull myself out of the "All Federation Scum must die" mode. It comes from years of having "Federation Only" opponents in SFB. I just cant bring myself to pilot a federation ship. If I ever get really sad for a photon / phaser loadout, at least there is a Klingon varraint that has it.

there is nothing comparable to a good volley of overleaded disrupters and heavy photons.
i dont think the saberdance is very usefull in sfc unless ure 1vs1 and u got a lot of time.for my personal expirience overlaoded disrupters and some transporter action to cripple the enemies rear weapons can be much more effective.all u got to do is to glue yourself to the rear shield of the enemy , distance 8-5,tractor on repel if u play agains gorn or romulans,keep your ecm up and if u can u should divert some power to your front shielding .for the case the opponent does a het u could prepare a suicide shuttle.for the case ure 1 vs one and u need to do some repairs or your photons need energy to reload u can drop a wild weasel and putting your ecm panel to maximum. i want to see a photons thats hits a ship with 12 ecm even if your speed is zero. works good if your enemy is much faster and quite close (6 or closer).btw that works against photonloaded feds or other klinks - its is a bad idea against lyran,mirak,romulans and gorn-they will beam mines onto your position and than theyll just wait till your wild weasel is gone.
normal disruptors work fine when u have some support. weaken the shields of the lightest opponent and finish him of up close , run and reload and than deal with the bigger ones. a team mate could play the punching ball while u kill the frigates or destroyers and than u simply gangbang the last enemy standing.
these things worked well on my last sfc lan party.i mostly play feds and klinks, sometimes hydran - i dont have much luck with lyrans. my favorite opponents are mirak, feds and lyrans.i love those to blow up.
ive never played sfb so i cant tell if it works there (i suppose it doesnt).

just my two cents

greatings,

The Black Fleet is not a mortal fleet to join, but rather they great spirit fleet that lies beyond the "All seeing stars". Though you are right about fighting valorious battles. Given any ship, from a E7 to a C7 to a B10, I will fight in a way to make my ancestors proud. Then, in death, perhaps I wll be given a place within the great Black Fleet.

If you have a mortal fleet that carries the same name, I would find this near blasphemous!
