So, I`d just like to point out, my ships are the worst at hitting huge ships, but nails every small ship they aim at. I realize its all rolls, but man, I feel like totally flopped.

I'll attack the last remaining Iconoclast with a torpedo barrage preceded by a macrocannon volley.

You definitely need to pick and choose your fights very carefully. Obviously you can deal with ships of equivalent size fairly well without trouble. But anything the size of the cruiser? Of course it's likely you'll have a tricky time. You are playing with escorts here, after all - their main role is to look after the bigger cruisers to ensure they aren't overwhelmed by enemy squadrons and, where possible, to add your firepower to that of the cruisers. Where the cruisers would be the tank, the escorts would be the rogue-type character getting behind the enemy and hitting them in their blind spot, or in this case defenceless spot. I'm sure you know this anyway, I just have a habit of trying to help out new users where I can in games. Look on the bright side, you didn't lose any ships and you also are the only one who has an escort squadron, meaning none of the rest of us have the flexibility or speed or numbers you do, which puts you in a unique position in the battle group.

Darko, it was a jest, and plus being a squadron of Cobra`s, I`m not like a Sword or firestorm, my goal is to take down the bigger guys with my slow torpedo`s and chase down the little guys once the big guy is gone. I`m not a Sword with powerful weapon batteries nor a Firestorm with lances to cut things into bits, I`m a destroyer with weapons to take out slower moving targets. That's why I have Forge 7 with the fighters, so I can have a dedicated escort killer that can help defend us in sticky situations.
On a lighter note, I made it out with no casualties and 3 confirmed kills so far, so I cant complain. I will be chasing those transports though, so if yall would like to support me that`d be great.

Alright, although beware as I will be firing the nova cannon in that general area.. because nothing says 'Do you have time to talk about our lord and saviour the God Emperor' like a gigalarge explosion.

I've been away for the weekend, but all is well. Give me a moment to roll up a few things and I'll inform the overall murder count, especially if the Murder goes nuclear.

Finally the results of the last turn of killing little babbie ships is done and a starter for a side plot has begun as you all return to the Viros Shipyards to repair wounds and possible get a fresh coat of paint. Do please start honor duels, as it would be hilarious to see, especially if you use cruisers for it.
