The Fleryg on the other end of the transmission, probably Yvink, chuckles.
And what makes you assume we would retreat?
The shields on the Fleryg ships go to full power as Disruptor turrets begin to charge, in an instant the Fleryg fleet disappears in a flash of cyan. Sensor officers report faint traces of Dimensional Hyperspace Fields forming before the Fleet is upon them, Fighters and Capitals alike are sitting nose to nose with the Solaric Empire ships, a frigate is seen being ripped apart as a Fighter appears inside it.

yobeefjerky I'm really starting to dislike all of your factions.

The Solaric ships had their weapons readied as a point of protocol, so it took the commanders of the various divisions mere seconds to issue the fire orders, Tractor and pressor beams snatch at the Fleryg ships, sometimes tearing parts from the hulls or even rending the ships entirely if lucky, whilst heavy Rattler Beams seek the ships, throwing crew around the inside of the ships they hit like beans in a tin can, meanwhile large bore cannon rounds crumple shields and chew through enemy armour whilst missiles and lasers track weaker targets such as fighters, one of the "Budapest" class cruisers pilots makes a split second mistake and impacts on one of the Fleryg capitals, engulfing both in a massive ball of flame and wreckage, the resulting debris field tears through the tightly packed ships, flack ripping through several other Fleryg and Solaric ships,detonating vital systems and causing fires, fire control teams on a nearby Goliath-Class missile cruiser fail to cope and the cruiser's ammo stores detonate, it slowly blows outward causing more destruction, meanwhile transports full of Solaric troopers impact titanium nosecones into Fleryg capitals, Purple armoured troopers disgorge from the craft and start an internal assault on the Fleryg security personnel

++I am displeased by your decision, Braun out.++

If the Fleryg were likeable then they wouldn't be fun to play.

[deleted]

yobeefjerky I meant because of the absurd power. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

yobeefjerky

Did you not see the Fleryg lose tens of ships in a relatively minor engagement?

[deleted]

yobeefjerky No, I didn't. But what I did see was the Flerg teleporting through a high tech barrier and using litterally thousands of ships.

[deleted]

Losing tens of ships doesn't matter if you make the faction OP and able to mass produce by the thousands.

yobeefjerky

The Fleryg build up their fleets with Battlegroups, each one having a set number of ships. The teleport was a Dimensional Hyperspace jump which costed (though I didn't mention) around 12 ships, the technology is ancient compared to Disruptors or Spatial Folding drives, but it still exists. The Fleryg aren't stupid, they wouldn't willingly sit inside a bubble totally helpless when they have a technology that can get them out of it. I spoke this through with Tson in discord and he was fine with it.

Here's the system I use to calculate fleet sizes, yes the Fleryg use a lot of ships, because this is space warfare. Fleets aren't made up of 3 capital ships with no escort, that's monumentally stupid.

yo dumb dumb unless your faction is that big even if you have tons of ships you cant crew them all my faction had warships being produced but we had enough crew for 1/4 of the ships leading to my faction losing its main base and having to rebuild from a scattered fleet and no real command base except for the harikaze which is a ship being used as a HQ ship for my faction my faction had 2 dreadnoughts that could have saved it but we could only get enough crew for standered systems on our dreadnoughts making it so they coudent be enough to be battle capable leaving them useless and having to FTL away from the battle because there was not enough crew on them this is an example of good RP. also counting im a mining/merchant faction we have more crrew to merchant ships and mining ships and stations.

yobeefjerky Suddenly, a very large object, plus some smaller objects, are detected on multiple Fleyrg radar systems. 500 miles from the invasion fleet, the object stops warping through space-time, and is soon revealed to multiple Fleryg troops to be a UG fleet, led by none other than Jamoke D. Sanderson. The fleet stops, staring at the invasion fleet. Jamoke's attack force comprises of:

1 UG-OWP Hades

10 UG-AC20 Veba

And Jamoke's Taxi Cab

Jamoke activates the transmission system on his Taxi Cab, and transmits a message to all Fleryg ships.
/INCOMING TRANSMISSION/
"Yo, wassup, homies? Y'all ain't see me in a long time, huh? I heard a lot of folks round here thought I was dead. But, I guess I'm back from the dead! Now, Imma go give you fools one warning: Leave my damn home alone, or else I'll send this big ass nuke at you! You folks got 10 minutes to send us an answer! And don't try anything funny, too!"
/END OF TRANSMISSION/
Jamoke really hopes this plan will work. If not, well, there goes the neighborhood.

yobeefjerky But if you are in closed bubble with no way out, teleporting wouldn't work because the matter of the ships wouldn't be able to get out.

Disruptor lances responded in kind as Capitals fired their main guns at close range. Disruptor shields flare up as a Fighter rams a Frigate, the resulting nuclear detonation destroying both ships. Electro-Disruptor Turrets fire off beams of red as they target and destroy missiles with unerring accuracy.
A Capital can be seen with a lost Nacelle, the crippled ship begins to speed towards a Solaric Cruiser as it detonates it's Spatial Folding Drive, crushing both of the ships as space implodes. Disruptor bolts are seen slamming in the bulks of a Solaric vessel which lost shields, small nuclear detonations quickly taking the place of hull as the vessel died in nuclear fire. Jump Ships quickly put their SFD to use as they force space to collapse on Battle-Cruisers.
Thousands of Hunter strike craft quickly rush out from hangar bays as they began to mark weak points in the defenses of Solaric ships whilst also dealing with the Solaric Empire's own strike craft.
One of the Solaric Cruisers is marked by a flight of Hunters and is promptly Nuked into oblivion by a Disruptor lance.

the_guy545 Welp, you used it. Guess I gotta clear out my way to you and try to defend it

the_guy545

yobeefjerky Erm...hello?

the_guy545

the_guy545 Erm...anyone?

😔

Sigh. Oh well.

the_guy545

SnowDoggo That's only part one of my plan... 🙂

SnowDoggo

the_guy545 and the UER fleet is in your command until I'm back

SnowDoggo

I'll be back in Saturday, so.. be nice to each other and fight fair

(you can't shoot a stasis field since it is a barrier in time and not space therefore does not physically exist)

Swarms of fighter zippers glide in a seemingly effortless formation around the chaos of the battle, 60 swarm a Fleryg capital supported by two Spear-Class Blaster frigates, the capital slews off it's course into a transport, and the resulting tangle of wreckage sweeps up several light craft of both sides, the three Doomsday-class heavy weapons platforms have charged their main batteries and deactivate the protective field around their Sunflare devices, white nova-hot beams of pure power lance out and melt through all in their path, clearing 20% of the field of battle, 5% of which comprised of friendly craft. Two Pilum-class cannon cruisers move to either side of a Fleryg ship and Frag it, whilst MK 2 and 3 Zippers engage enemy light craft. Meanwhile the troopers in one of the Fleryg capitals burst onto the bridge weapons ready, two go down to the officer's fire but the rest fire Stumm gas into the room, knocking out those Fleryg too slow to get to respirators, while the rest go down to less painless but still not fatal KR rounds, the troopers secure the capital and maneuver it to attack the other Fleryg ships, while another Fleryg ship is detonated by it's commander to avoid the same happening to it.

yobeefjerky

exactly, it isn't teleportation, they phased into Dimensional hyperspace to bypass the bubble.

[deleted]

yobeefjerky So they travelled through multiple dimensions, which is extremely dangerous, instead of just shooting the shield?
Ok nvm

yobeefjerky

Tson and I discussed this, the Stasis field literally blocked off the Fleryg from reality and wouldn't have been destroyed by getting shot at, I originally was gonna have them fire Electro-Disruptors to destabilize it but it wouldn't have worked, so I used a loophole.
