Fleets en route

[Raven]

Does anybody know if fighters take part in a battle initiated with the intercept fleet command, when the target fleet is travelling from Quadrant to Quadrant?

Where does the battle take place?

Away from Planetary defences?

I would guess so yes, but it's a guess!

Test battle anyone?

Have you had any offers yet David, if not, can we set it up. I'd like to know as it may be an important tactic if they do not take part and also allow an attacker to take out thousands of fighters in a stroke.

Do we know where the IMP fleet is stationed. Dependant on results if we were able to catch it en route it could be quite devastating.

See Intelligence reposrts on the planet Freezz. I always probe it with Signiture probes, so we'll know if he launches his fleet and where he sends it too...

Ok, let's try it out then.

We can kill two birds with one stone here as I am writing a battle calculator and wonder what happens in certain situations.

I'll send all my ships away from Salonae 001:02:2:25 and you can then send a small fleet to attack it, with a small fleet.

I'll see if I can intercept it with a fleet from Fawkrin - it would be best if you choose a planet with the longest ETA so I have chance to login to pick it up.

If you send a few fighters on board a carrier I'll attack with 1 Shadow class fighter, so you wont lose the carrier. We will then know if fighters do remain on the carrier or not.

Forget about killing 2 birds with one stone as that scenario wont work, what I am wondering is this:

Assuming you attack a force with Fighters and Corvettes and your ships target Fi first then Co - if during a tick all fighters are destroyed would the Corvettes get targeted as well?

Anyone know the answer? Another test battle?

[Raven]

OK David, I will create a fleet containing 2 bullet fighters on 1 carrier and attack

[001:02:2:25] Salonae
from
[001:01:3:19] Gargantua

When would you like it to arrive?

[SkulkrinBait]

Best send it when I'm online, so keep an eye out!
