MONCALAMARI MANEUVER or how to wreck a planet with 1 ship.

My finest hour at Supremacy was when i was on the back foot as Empire.

 

Its early (500 o.n.o).. the enemy (my fearsome mate Gavin) are diplomating all over the place, my ore is running low, i've lost the mighty Emperor to a sneak raid by Infiltrators. Worse, the enemy are constructing a fortress around mon calamari which my droids tell is going to recieve 10 (count 'em) advanced construction yards from various planets.

 

The enemy have air superiority on the planets around Mon Cal to prevent me sneaking a ship to an outer planet and launching commando raids from there.

 

I launch a single fast ship with a few destructive characters (Mendo etc) on board to Mon Cal from as near as i can. I calculate the distances and at the right time i launch my pitiful fleet to Sluis in the north of Mon Cal's galaxy. As predicted the enemy fleet and fighters flock to repel the assault of the big fleet at Sluis. They trap me and take out a motherbird Carrier before i can escape.

 

The very next day my fast ship arrives and the seven of the ten construction yards which are in transit from different destinations are destroyed enroute. I destroy 2 on the ground. Cue orgasm.

...emmm.... moments like this seperated by so many days is what has endured me to the game... the rush....ahhh!!!

 

Reminds me of the time my Death Star arrived at a system and proudly opened fire on 'military targets', I just hadn't noted the system had LNR II defenses... I've forgotten how many characters died, hadn't saved game for ages... :?

The deathstar destroyed by LNR series?? 8O8O Thats not possible I think :? The Deathstar has hull strange of 25000 and shields with 2000 poinst that CAN NOt be crushd by at least 10 LNRIIs 8O but just only if there are enough shields on that planet perhaps minimum 3 shields II, better 4 :roll: please explain exactly what happened Jahled :!:

Maybe he edited the stats of the LNR2, so that one could take out a DS.

Never happened to me though, cause I usually let some chars take out the defenses, before I start the bombardment :roll:

Interesting, Ususally if there are 2+ LNR2's I usually just blow the planet up. :twisted: No since in damaging by DS or any other ship in that fleet. :D

I noticed if the planet I destroy is far away from my nearest controlled Planets. It does not effect them.

I think the first one destroyed with the DS does not decrease popular support. But the others.... I got uprisings on couruscant :evil:

Well this was probably the 6th or 7th one I took out. Maybe I am lucky, (if there is such a thing) who knows?

Oh dear, my apologies! I didn't realize you guys were asking me to reply.

 

Ok, this was a game before I discovered RebEd so there was no editing; it was a completely 'clean,' game. The Death Star was on it's own, turned up at the system and I opened fire at military facilities. The LNR II on the planet Destroyed my Death Star, killing a few characters. I remember that much and also yelling very loudly in abject frustration at my own error, and not having saved the game for ages.

 

:idea: I'm going to quickly test this with the game i'm playing at the moment.

 

I'll be right back...

Ok, I think I just figured out what happened after extensive testing on two systems.

 

There's a general on the planet.

 

The Death Star opened fire and was damaged. It opened fire again and was further damaged/destroyed depending on the presance of an admiral.

 

It just goes to show you you mustn't do somethings when you've had a few lagers. If anyone sends me to war, they better just give me the flag to wave.
