No, they do not. Cruisers are one ship.

But do the fighters that they carry count against the limit?

Well, since of a new understanding, my attack fleet is actually:

10 Corvetts, 20 Rapiers and 1 Lightning = 50 mil

For my defense fleet:

20 corvetts, 20 Rapiers and 10 hawks = 50 ships

But the names remain. Later.

No. Cruisers and their weapons/contents count as one vessel.

My home planet is Palshife- but does that mean I don't need a defense fleet, or that my defense fleet must defend another planet?

Trugati, you as a subbordinate do not get a defense fleet. Just the attack fleet that you have already chosen. You're fine.

Defense fleets are for planets. Every planet has one and no one controls them until they are attacked. The leader of a government chooses the defense fleet for each planet. This can be made alot easier on everyone if they choose one assortment and use it for all planets.

See other posts for more the rest of the information.

7 Rebel Cruisers- 98M

27 Rebel Fighters(besides the 28 in Cruisers)- 4.8M

You are fine aside from the fact that 37 Mantas(Rebel Fighters) costs 6.66M and not 4.8. I missed this on another rebel fleet as well(dunno who's it was). I would like both of you to correct this please.

Hrm... 6.66? Finally some sign that the rebellion is evil like the rest of us humans... 😛

Work continues(albeit only when Jimbob is on AIM). I think he and i will be able to iron out any more problems within an hour or 2 if we manage to be on at the same time again. The story will definitly start within' a week... I hope...

My apologies.

Oh, and I fixed my Rebel Fighter count.

Do we have to pay for the mantas that come with the crusiers? aren't they included in the price of the cruiser?

Price of fighters are included. Ah, i see now. The 37 was including the fighters from the Cruisers...

Still, that's not an accurate price.
37 - 28 = 9 Mantas
9 x 180,000 = 1.62M

Either way, it's off by something.

Well, I've been informed by Admiral that a new change means my Mercenary fleet is now set at 125 Million credits, so changes are to be made.

Start location: Sauron

Fleet:
24 Corvettes
30 Rapiers
29 Lightnings

------------------
My mind is holding me hostage, send SWAT please.

I could nit-pick right now and inform you that 27 Mantas costs 4.86M and not 4.8M, but i wont. 😛

The way things are going there will probobly be a new thread(at Jimbob's suggestion), because this one is getting cluttered with failed explainations and rule-problem fixes.

------------------

Ok, time for my new fleet then...Start location Yemuro

5 Kestrels -50mil
20 Corvettes -48.4mil
28 Lightnings-26.32mil
3 Defenders -273,000

7,000 credits left over.
66 ships in all (including 10 more lightnings from the Kestrels)
Max range before refueling is 3 jumps

Please tell me if my calculations are off. I'm going off of thew new merc budget of 125 mil credits.

We have settled on EVula's prices. The prices you worked that fleet out on are the cheapened versions available in EV only on certain planets. We are going to stick with the rounded off prices that are at (url="http://"http://www.EVula.com/survival_guide/")www.EVula.com/survival_guide/(/url) .

Kestrel: 10M
Corvette: 2.5M
Lightning: 1M
Defender: 100K

Yah, make me change my perfectly designed fleet. growl

18 Corvettes-18x2.5m=45m
15 Rapiers-15x1.2m=18m
62 Lightnings-62x1m=62m

I think that's about right.

Curses on addition.

Curses on actually thinking too.

<snip> Now responding to Paranoid's edited post...
You are at 125M exactly good. However, in the price next to the lightnings you are lacking by 2M. That's not all that important though. The real cost is right on. 😉

This post brought to you by UE Admiral's nit-picking habit. Have a nice day.

Grrr...ok then

5 Kestrels-50 mil
20 Corvettes-50 mil
12 Rapiers-14.4mil
10 Lightnings-10 mil
6 Defenders-600k

That makes for a total of...125mil! YAY! no more problems, and no nit-picking is allowed!

So, that makes 63 ships in all, not to bad for a merc fleet. Still have a 3 jump limit due to the defenders though.

Excellent. Everything seems to be in order. Jimbob, can you think of or find any problems we have yet to fix? If we find nothing we can start Thursday or Friday depending on real life interferance...

Everyone, i am going to edit the first post once more after this post, please read it again. My aim is to make the set of rules and regs as clear as humanly possible. If they are not clear, or if you have questions, post them and i will try to edit the post to cover them.
