[_] [G] Probably the best space battle game ever made Anon 1266384 One of the most enjoyable in my 23 years of hopeless addiction to the vidya. See if you can beat it. Also yeah I know it's old and been on jewgrounds, suck my dick. Marked for deletion (old).
>> [_] Anon 1266447 can somebody explain to me how the resupply/get more/better ships mechanic works? is it just luck?
>> [_] Anon 1266453 >># There is none. If I understand it correctly, each ship type has a certain point value (fighters = 1, destroyers = 3, testudons = 5 or something), and then each force in a battle has the same points value. So in theory you're always evenly matched. Yes, including those "fighting two or three enemy forces" matches - since they fight each other as well as you. In practice, though...
>> [_] Anon 1266454 >># Ehhh... testudons are worth 10. My mistake.
>> [_] Anon 1266456 >># definitely not against the space station, and a destroyer is easily worth >3 fighters in practice
>> [_] Anon 1266514 >># 10 fighters would totapwn a testudon solo, though. Any idea on what these values are based on?
>> [_] Anon 1266517 >># I didn't say they got the points balance RIGHT, just that's how it was set up. And a lot of the battle is situational. 9 fighters versus 3 destroyers can be a major win for the fighters or a major win for the destroyers - depending on whether one side stays grouped while the other gets split up. My money says "destroyers", sure, but 9 fighters versus 1 destroyer, three times in a row, is an easy win for the fighters. And ten fighters are a MUCH better choice for pounding a testudon than three destroyers. Space station's worth 35 points all by its lonesome.
>> [_] Anon 1266522 >># I got the values just by observing the comparative forces ("you have 18 fighters" versus "the single enemy force has 12 fighters and 2 destroyers"). Not sure how the programmers got the values. Probably it was just a top-of-the-head, adjust-as-I-test-it thing.
>> [_] Anon 1266532 >># I'd say this is due to statistical probability. 10 fighters are much more likely to split up (somewhat) than 3 destroyers. The fact that 10 fighters are stronger than a tetsudon OTOH comes from the fact that the testudon is stronger against single opponents than against groups due to its weapon being direct fire single-shot. So it's kind of a game of fighters defeats tetsudon defeats destroyers defeats fighters. In theory. In practice, of course, a combined force seems best. I wonder how the composition of the forces is selected, though. It seems like I'm always the side with more fighters, leading to more losses through poor strategy and splitting up.
>> [_] Anon 1266533 What I especially like is the storyline. I mean, who hasn't dreamed of being telepathic dictator of the galaxy?
>> [_] Anon 1266554 bumpan one more time before it's gone because I love this game so much even the music is fuckawesome
>> [_] Anon 1266565 Man what, I just died right after killing the mothership. The game let me proceed, but after that, EVERY LEVEL HAS AN ENEMY MOTHERSHIP FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

>> [_] Anon 1143899 shit sux, you can't beat the third level because theres just too many of them vs your dudes
>> [_] Anon 1143987 >># It's randomly generated as long as you kick ass, you still have a fair chance of winning Level 5's big thing is a space station, which is a rape machine. This game would be even more fuckwin if you could play with some bros.
