You managed to completely miss the point of the whole paragraph. Why am I not suprised... As I said earlier, I was simply representing the other side of the issue, whether I agree with it, or not.

if you don't agree with it its a waste of time posting on its behalf in case you missed it, that was the point in my paragraph.

WTF are quantum pulse phasers

If I remember right, they are one of the new weapons. I'm thinking the Phalanx will have them. btw, the fighter versions will be MUCH less powerful.

To ewm: 20 dilithium, 35 tritanium (speculative numbers)

DOCA/Optec will u please do something to stop this bickering?! are these fighters gonna be manned or drones? i'm just wondering if they won't be very effective and easily overcome by the enemy or if they are effective by using swarm tactics i.e loads of fighters targeting 1 particular ship

I think the phalanx has the mangan phaser.

About the fighters, I dont think u will have to buy or construct them :S

Yep, fighters will be launched and will fight automatically, you will only have to command the fightercarrier.

will there be different combat modes for fighters? like C.A.P. with phasers only but they don't have to reload and they have faster reaction times, or strike where they're armed with tordedos but have to return to the ship to rearm and then launch again? or something like that?

Hey Optec, DOCa Cola

I was wondering if you could possibly post an image of the avalon

Hmmmm... The fighters will be seperate units?

I presume they will work somewhat like the ship-launched fighter from C&C Red Alert 2, if anyone remembers. At least that's how I understood the description.

Although, they also could work like an animated weapon... but that would mean noone could shoot the fighters down. And that would be strange.

i think c&cra2 allied aircract carrier style would be best.

sounds good to me.

Yep, they act similar to Red Alert. There is a 3d Image of the Avalon in a past news entry.
