Anyone else sick of lifeboat flotillas?

Can we just go back to the part where it's a tactic here in a game that's supposed to be about strategy and is a strategy that would likely get your admiral killed, irl or are we still pretending he'd be riding around in a semi truck in the midst of a tank battle?

That's still an emotional semantic argument that holds no merit in the rules of the game. And it's been beaten to death. Wait 4 weeks and repost the topic to get the best arguments. Rinse and repeat on all inflammatory concepts.

It's a tactic that can and does get admirals killed in the game, too.

Case in point.

I reiterate my position: the more people start building responses to this into their lists and then actually applying them in-game, the less you'll see it happen. So, if you don't want to see it anymore, take an ExL/Sensor Team Raider, an H9 MC30, a CR90B, or a few punchy rogues. Then, if you see somebody doing this, commit those resources to quickly punish them for doing it.

Anyone who gets their flotilla run down by a raider is either really bad or being out activated 2-1. It should take you six turns just to get the thing in range!

God forbid they're first player, they'll never be in arc!

I really hope you are going with this "Raider trigger word" because you find it funny, not because you seriously think the Raider is bad. I agree the Raider is not the best ship, but you take this to a whole new level.

 

And it amuses me greatly.

I think featuring it on Turbolaser Reroute Circuits is the most damning piece of evidence yet that the whole thing was a mistake.

I think with the way you can upgrade that flotilla it's really more like riding around a tank battle in Optimus Prime than in a standard Freightliner. And hell yes I would ride in Optimus Prime.

Of course you'd use your enemies as a suit of armor, Megatonrex.
