I dunno. I just played JKII last night though, and the mini-ION's there had basic shielding, not much though.

Perrin, fine on all your posts, but remeber, as you rotate around the world with your fleet(since you want to stay near the shipyards, you will eventually(key word eventually) come into range from another gun in the network.

Also, I had 50 000 mines total at the start.

Jan... your shipyards would be in geosync orbit over the planet. Obviously, this is so that traffic lanes, etc., and the location of the yard, is not constantly changing.

Geosync means that the yard is kept above a certain point of the planet, and rotates at the same rate that spot does.

If the yards rotated faster or slower than the world, you would have difficulty flying up supplies, etc, when it's on the other side of the planet.

Nice try Jan but if that was true then your ion cannon (while hitting the first time) would have missed all the rest of the times (probably striking the yards and your mines) since you were firing the same cannon and it would have moved position.

Your "path" through the ion mines was specifically for the ion cannon so that tells me that everything is moving at the same rate of speed so the "path" can be maintained.

Otherwise it makes absolutely no sense.

I'll post either today or tomorrow, guys. I'm having trouble getting time together to study the replies and formulate my own.

We are waiting for Perrin to edit, then myself and Kas(Isjhe) still have to post.

Torpedoe Sphere's aren't legal unless you make it a general R&D. I suggest just removing it, or we could wait for the staff to approve it, but that would take a while.

Jan, it doesn't matter if he posts or not, he's just moving himself into the rotation. He'll be before me then as we continue.

The torpedo sphere is legal, it's a WEG ship, you can find stats here: www.galacticempiredataban...phere.html

It's probably about as legal as they get.

Damn, I got told.

The Torpedo Spheres are illegal.

They were built at Corellia, DURING the attack. Due to Kas's ruling in this thread that he would look into the stuff, they are now illegal. Thank you very much.
