Well, since you're asking here... (Didn't reply before because my fleet is on Double-Red Alert, which doesn't allow Priority One Messages to get through to the commander.)
The gate can't really be shut down, because the side a ship goes through is much more important than where it comes out; the gate basically flings them to the new location. So you could shut down your end, but it wouldn't help much.
Don't see why it can't be used as a desk.
a) I don't know that the Jumpgate has special sensors, but your ships scanners should pick up almost everything, so why is that needed? I don't really think so, but I suppose you could try to invent something...
As for Jimbob's fleet, my hard drive copy of the map docked him a Cruiser - wait, he took three passes on them with his fighters?!?! Oh, brilliant, Jimbob. Heavy Cruisers have Detonator Blisters, same as Destroyers. That makes all your fighters gone. I guess you'll have to hope for replacements from Skyblade at some point.

Unless he used them as a figurehead, didn't count them as part of his fleet, and didn't use them for combat, that is or should be disallowed and illegal.
2. How did KK acquire that modified argosy? I would have been fine with it except that he used it as a weapon. To use a ship you must purchase it. He used a freebie to inflict massive damage on skyblade frigates. That is a serious rules infracture.
3. How did AA capture an alien system with zero losses. It is like the pirates of last round, you have to accept some losses.**

If you wouldn't bend the rules in the first place we would have even less to worry about.

Okay, it's no problem if that's not allowed. It's not a big deal to me. I suppoes eit could get a little out of hand..... If we're arguing about little things like this though, what I would like to know is how Mac was allowed to practically destroy spl_cadet's fleet in the very first post. It seemed a little unrealistic, especially the part about taking down the Macross's shields without letting him respond.....

Eh, it really wasn't that long of a battle post... 256 Space Bombs can do a lot of damage real quick, even to a Macross. Believe me, I planned that up very well, and feel confident I can show that there was nothing he could have done to stop me. The bomb group was very fast and well supported, with enough HALOs to take down his entire fighter force, so a CAP would not have affected it in the slightest. I also had a few Destroyers in with them that could have screened very effectively against any interference from any Drakes/Halberds in position to stop them, at least long enough to get the bombs on target.
Skyblade I don't want to start a flame war but I do want to discuss this.
As the two alien ships approached it is my understanding that the DR fighters would of reached the Alien ships before any other DR ship. Therefore the HCruisers would of had sufficient time to destroy many fighters before the rest of the DR fleet, with the majority of the firepower, arrived! Do you not think so?

Destroyers aren't that much slower, and the way he set it up I assume they arrived at about the same time. Don't worry about it, I'm going to dock him a few ships when I get the map update up.
Also, RC, you forget that Dreden Plasma Beam Cannons do 6 damage. With so many fighters firing with that kind of firepower, those Alien Heavy Cruisers.

Not to mention the numerous plasma beams from the turrets of the capital warships...
I don't know how well I'll be able to hold of two fleets, Skyblade...

Originally posted by Jimbob: **I don't know how well I'll be able to hold of two fleets, Skyblade...
You likely won't be able to, but with the help of the defense fleet, you should be able to hold for awhile. Azdara can make the final blow once the going gets tough. Simply destroy as much as you can, and the reinforcements will take care of everything else.
Since all the action right now seems to be in Sentarus, I finished that map update, it should all be correct as of post 44 by RC, moving Saint+'s fleet.
Milky Way update will be soon, I hope.
Few other things here about the new battle, as I'm pausing to look at it:
First, Jimbob, I seem to recall mentioning that you lost all your fighters in those stupid maneuvers with the Verdica defense fleet. I suppose we could let you keep a few, but with only those attacking two heavy cruisers for several passes... they really should be all dead.
Second, I don't think your Plasma torps would be able to hit the Alien Interceptors. Look at the difference in maneuverability there. Heavy Fighters probably, but not Interceptors.
BTW Skyblade, how come you're complaining when RC moved Saint+'s fleet, and didn't earlier when Rak moved Carno's?

Map looks perfect, only you forgot to mark Sovet as green and put Azdara's fleet there. But perhaps that was said after you made the update...
Originally posted by Macavenger: **Few other things here about the new battle, as I'm pausing to look at it:
Alright, I didn't remember you mentioning that. About the interceptors, I can understand that, but a few probably would have hit. So, Mac, mod it like youm did with the other ones.
Originally posted by Macavenger: ** BTW Skyblade, how come you're complaining when RC moved Saint+'s fleet, and didn't earlier when Rak moved Carno's?:p
Never even knew he had. I don't read the Milky Way-related posts much as compared to the Sentarus...

Well, I'm not entirely sure about this popular insurrection thing. How do you know the ASlien citizens don't like their Empire? Having been the Alien EMperor previously, I can assure you that they are well taken care of.
I seem to see you ordering Azdara to Sovet, but he hasn't actually gone there yet. I also don't see an asterisk by his name on the homepage, which I do for Saint+.
Say, maybe I'll let the insurrection stand if a small Alien fleet arrives to restore order at the same tme Azdara does...
Originally posted by Jimbob: Alright, I didn't remember you mentioning that.
Scroll about halfway up the page here, to my post at 11:07am. It was on this thread, since it fit in well with some others.

And you wait until now to tell me all this? Dang, there goes the entire plan...
I believe what Azdara and I have posted regarding Imperial oppression is extrememly realistic. Watch the end of the Star Wars special edition (Return of the Jedi), and you'll see what I mean...
Err, I thought you just said we could order fleets to move without the commander actually posting his move. Have you suddenly sratched that rule?
About your last remark, I don't care. I just don't see how the entire Sovet thing should be a major issue...
Originally posted by Captain Skyblade: Err, I thought you just said we could order fleets to move without the commander actually posting his move. Have you suddenly sratched that rule?
Um, I guess you're confused. It works like this. When the fleet commander is known to be out of contact and unable to post for himself (as Carno and Saint+ are now) the leader or a Fleet Admiral can control him directly. Otherwise they can just give orders.
Look, the main reason I did that was to get this crazy story going, since without Saint+ the Aliens would only have 3, and they needed 4. So, I had to do something to make it so we could be balanced enough to start.
Originally posted by Captain Skyblade: About your last remark, I don't care. I just don't see how the entire Sovet thing should be a major issue...
Well, maybe I'll just drop it, but don't do it again, ok?
(edit) Alright, map updated to give Sovet to the Dreden, but this will not be done again, ok?(/edit)
