Rumble XIII: Ultimate Spaceship Dogfight!

[bird1111]

Crap. Game's over, as its inevitable that Netlava wins.

[Cavane]

Unless splash damage is dealt. I almost went with the AT Field/Device strategy, too...

[bird1111]

How are we going to deal splash damage?

[Cavane]

I mean if damage beyond the initial 20 is dealt to the player.

Also, who's the other bioship person?

[Karo]

Perhaps it's Netlava? What would happen then? By the way, how can anyone deal splash damage? Do the neutron bombs deal SD? It seems like the description says their damage is handled like attacks.

Hm, if we should lose, the victory is deserved. There are a number of devices that could have prevented it, but nobody cared to bid for them.

[Gremwell]

well that was fun, not that it matters but I bid 7 on fighter launch but called it deploy fighters

[Gremwell]

two shots from the photon cannons would take out the droid and with the HESC and the rest of us just attacking we could take out Xelada

[xelada]

if karo linked up with netlava using the bio thingy the devices ability will be nullified because if bioed you can only win if everyone else is dead. so karo do it!

I'll send 100 energy for that 999+ one, then.

I included 0-bids as I just made a list and ran down it, deciding on their value.

Naturally, I don't pay anything for the hull, as it does not specify I had to.

[Max]

YEAH. (Note bird1111 can kill everyone this round except netlava anyway

[Gremwell]

YEAH. (Note bird1111 can kill everyone this round except netlava anyway

no he can't

[Karo]

YEAH. (Note bird1111 can kill everyone this round except netlava anyway

He'd deal 100 damage but with some points spend on defence on our part, he would not kill everyone, unless 'damage' means defence is ignored.

So we can't kill the kamikaze fighter, hoping he'd crash into the THE DEVICE SHIP, as the magnetic drone protects him at least this round?

Then I guess me teaming up with that ship is our only chance. But I'd like to hear what our host has to say about this first.

[Max]

Thats how I interpreted damage.

[Max]

But with my counter attack it would rebound and kill him...

[Gremwell]

he can only use one bomb per round and it doesn't take effect until next round, so we'll all know its coming

[Xdaamno]

I can stop Netlava. I biddded on Longinus Torpedo.

[Karo]

Great, I'll team up with somebody else then. Sending actions.

[bird1111]

YEAH. (Note bird1111 can kill everyone this round except netlava anyway

A) Neutron Bomb takes effect the round after I use it

B) I think Magnetic Shield Drone may prevent me from killing Xelada if its active next round

C) Because A is true, If Cloaking Shields is used this round, it prevents Neutron Bomb

D) Spatial Fluxuator likely works on Neutron Bomb

E) Anyone with more than 50 energy can survive Neutron Bomb by assigning at least 50 shields.

F) I have the choice of doing 50 damage every round after the first or doing 100 damage every other round. So I may not even deal 100 damage in a single round.

So no, I cannot kill everyone this round. And I'm not likely to kill everyone else alive until late in the game. And that assuming I go for the 100 every other round.

[Max]

I can stop Netlava. I biddded on Longinus Torpedo.

No you can't netlava would have 1 left

[bird1111]

Max's right.

Vote: Rewind back to picking systems, with The Device being removed from the game

[Max]

Yeah, it is kind of an annoying one/

[bird1111]

Question: For the purpose of Deceptive Illusions, do systems that deal damage count as a normal attack?

[Gremwell]

*INCOMING TRANSMISSION*

[... So the only way for

Netlava

to lose is if the

Kamikazi

carrier is killed and then decides to take Netlava down with him, THIS ROUND ...]

this is what needs to happen

[bird1111]

xelada can't die this round because he has Magnetic Shield Drone.

[Cybele]

Weep not for me, for I am dead.
