Topic: Squadron Commander: Week 2 THINGS GET FASTER!!!

[Herr Burt]

Hi, all:

After Agave killed me in a Klink drone PF last night, I decided to speed up time and bring on the fast drones.  Now let's see him do that to me again!

No, just kidding.

I *DID* speed up time and bring on the fast drones, but that was to keep things on schedule.  The campaign was supposed to have fast drones in the second week, and would have if not for all the hurricanes and tornados (and bugs, but we won't mentinon them) eating up our playing time. 

Now the server will start the second week as it was meant to.

How will the second week go?

Strong showings have been made by the Roms, driving deeply into Fed space, and by the Hydrans, making advances into Lyran space.  Klinks have show progress as well and have advanced into Kzinti space.

However, the true masters at the moment are the Brave Bruce.  They've kicked ISC tail and turned back the Romulan invasion of Fed space.  Now they seem to be lending support to the Hydran front as well.  Dozens (literally....) of enemy tenders have fallen to their wrath.

Can the Romulans rally and renew their invasion?  Can the Klinks take advantage of their new, faster toys and punish the Mirak more?  Find out in Squadron Commander

i do have to admit that i do like the gorn PFs better...imho.

next comes hydran
fed
then miseryak...
cant kill anything w/ just a ph1 and an A-rack. and the Ph1s on certain mirak ships do not work.

and i will see if HB fixed them...

Yeah
Can anyone explain to me why The Kzin (who are supposed to be more technically backward than the Lyran)
manage to get Ph1's on their PF's and the Lyran don't?

Has SFB ever addressed this burning issue or have they done something stupid and said
"Its cuz they allied with the Feds" or " It's because they're the good guys"

Lyran Line ships in late era still had phaser 2s on a lot of ships.  Since they don't have all phaser 1s on cruisers they ain't gonna put PH1s on PFs.   

Totally irrelevant to SFC, but that is the SFB explaination.  Another "thing" lost in the translation.

So why did Lyran late era ships still use the Ph2?
How did Kzin manaage to go to Ph1's while the "technically advanced" Lyrans stayed with the
Ph2?
Was any reason ever given or was it just that Lyran were the bad guys?

It gets even stranger, the only "Coalition" race that didn't use PH-2s were the even more backward Romulans who weren't able to event Warp on their own . . .

I do not know the answer.   I know the Kzin don't use Ph-2 at all on any of their ships, even the Budget War Cruisers. 

Register and ask.

The Romulans were supposed to be a very technically advanced society, with great advances in the field of weaponry.  They invented the cloak, they invented targetting systems that could allow sublight weapons to hit warp-speed targets, and they pioneered carriers.  (Though they used them only for local defense.)

The tactical warp breakthrough eluded them, mainly because they had a very fractured society.  Their Great Houses sabotaged each other's warp projects as each wanted the "patent" on such an important piece of technology.  In addition, a Gorn prime team is supposed to have sabotaged the Romulan Warp project at just the right time.

I do not know the answer.   I know the Kzin don't use Ph-2 at all on any of their ships, even the Budget War Cruisers. 

The Kzinti went a step further (or missed an additional step, depending upon your point of view) and relied on more phaser-3's than anyone else.
