PSA - Encountering Enemy Fighters

[Black Sunder]

When encountering enemy fighters you may be tempted to use the opportunity to keep up foreign relations. Please use the proper procedure(won't let me embed with the timestamp) as linked and of course have fun while doing so. 2015 will be a great year for TEST so lets have some serious fun.

I hope they let us put decals on our ship wherever we'd like. Unlikely, but if they do, I'm putting open hands on my retaliator's wingtips, and then slapping enemy fighters out on patrol.

My plan is to spread hugs with the Roulette whenever I can. Hug all the M50s that are around me spreading TEST love with all!

Would the M50s even damage the Javelin?

Hugs for everyone

Size 14 shield so I would say no. But it should spread a single kiss to the pilot even inside the cockpit.

Logic says no a M50 should not damage a javalin however this is a video game and ive seen weirder things happen in games -_-, hopefully theere will be a system where to damage a ships armor (at least) would have a threshold that a hostile weapon would have to overcome pefore actually doing any damage, think trying to destroy a tank with a Assualt rifle just not going to happen, not what the weapon is designed for.

 

[Trogdor]

M50 depending on the size of the cannons might be able to damage it

 

[Sgt_Kiwi]

Get serious about it. If you encounter the enemy open the air lock and throw all your empty beer bottles at them

I doubht something as small as a M50 would be able to support a cannon with enough penetrating power to dent the armor honestly also from a balencing sence this makes sence as Figther>Bomber>Capital>Small cap/multicrew>Fighter

This does not take into account for heavy bombers which would have to be good enough against fighters to scare them away in a pure defensive manner while having its offence geared towards large capitals like frigs(debatable) and up,
This also does not count for the fact that some capitals will likely be geared specifically for certain roles example in my opinion the jav destroyer appears to be built as a support vessel for larger ships as a sort of fighter screen
