Topic: Hilarious, original mechanics
My ships use a combination of stealth, ECM, evasive maneuvers (in close quarters), and some flares as well. Yesterday, when playing with GamingGlen, Beowulf (my uncle), and my grandfather, I dropped ALL the flares my ships had, just to see what would happen. The result was this.

My ships are the black ones, my uncle's are the Navy ships, and Glen's were the Romulan ships. After dropping all the flares, the Bird of Pray had a -8 (stealth 3, ecm 1, evasive 1, 3 flares) when firing on my battleship (the one with the big nose).
Does anyone else have a wacky way of designing and playing ships? I'm always looking for new and fun ways to make a fleet XD
