Economic War: Too much of a good thing
« on: April 25, 2006, 12:22:17 am »
I was testing on Econ War yesterday, and I ran into a convoy of armed merchantment that were just a little too much for me.  27 opponent ships all total.   Talk about a chance for a big haul!!!  Yeah, they were mostly freightors, but that's still a lot of phasers.   Even if I were to defeat them all, I'd never get all that booty into the hold.

Hey, were are the EVE tin cans when you need them?



Don't worry, you won't face an armed convoy this big.   I've alterred the list to prevent this.

They were all trying to make the "Midnight to six, Steak and Eggs special" at the Denny's at Starbase 27.

HEY, YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY TEQUILA SUPPLY TRAIN!!  It's taken me several years to be able to buy all of those freightors to haul my tequila stores from one galactic crusade to the next.

NICE convoy of 27!!!

Thinking of how much pp you can rack up on a vanilla Convoy Raid can only imagine how much you might haul just takin out half those boats.  Would be interesting to see some as Lux Liners, ore carriers etc.  might look like the ragtag fleet from BSG75  ;D

are you sure we cant see fleets this big some of the time, maybe like every other mission or so? If piracy is so bad, i would think the convoys would get real big like that
