Thank you!
I went back and fleshed out a fleet (like they need one) for the Inquisition. I also edited the ARCHANGEL in the first post to bring it up to date with the rest of the fleet.

Re: Big *'n Ships

These large ships are impressive.  They remind me of what my very resourseful nephew designs. 
He is PSYCO829 here.  The weapons on his ships all fire out to 30 and have inverted ROF.  Not to be mean, but his large ships would probably defeat these large ships in an evenly pointed battle... :shock:

I prefer less over the top fleets myself. My normal fleet dreadnought is about size 15-18.
If I was up against someone who insisted on bringing 7500pnt behemoths, I would bring 60 of the Attack Ship Flotillas and go for the mosquito swarm. If I can get 1/2 of them to range 2 I'll have 540 shots at 2+. I should get near 300 hits and 50+ penatrations. :twisted: That should ruin just about anybody's day.

Re: Big *'n Ships

This is where Battle Satellites along with it would be useful...
But I stopped with the big ships once we got piercing +3, there is little point in making a large wall ship when your opponent can knock your defenses down to insignificance at little cost.
