Here is my response to Capn Hayes first post.

True, but since we are well within the solar system, your use of warp will be limited. The Imperial force is starting off just 250,000 miles from Earth. That's a pretty short distance to cover for either side, and should be reasonably quick, even on STL drive. It might be possible to calculate a short micro jump as well, if the Imperial fleet is given enough time, and that could bring the Imperial fleet to Earth orbit.

Going to be difficult, unless you conceed Earth orbit to me, and that will cost you cities. I'll start off just outside your 300,000km range, and will be moving rapidly inwards. I'll use my fighters as a screening force, and send the bombers to attack the colonies on the moon. Will you sacrifice them? There are 50 million people there. (I love being the bad guy)

The mix of ships you have is not best for this. Ideally you would want Akiras or war Nebulas, since they have the most torpedo tubes. Galaxys, Sovereigns and Prometheous classes arn't bad, but I wonder if you have the tubes needed to stop me before I get to Earth orbit and start nuking cities.

Why do I have to be stationary. I'll just use one broadside against your ships, and the other against the planet. Every minute the battle lasts, you will loose a couple of cities.

Ouch, hoisted by my own petard. All I can say against that is 'Shuttles against fighters? Huh!' :))))))) LOL!

But coming up with the ground rules would be a nightmare. Could we agree on weapons yields or shield power for instance? :)
