Played last week a 4.500 pts-battle against an EA-Player.
EA:
-1 Omega A w/ 2 Fligts Fury's and one fully loaded Flight T-Bolts.
-1 Saggitarius
-1 Olympus (Med Pulse+Rail Guns - Gamma?)
-1 Artemis Escort Frigate
UFP:
-1 Ambassador
-2 Excelsior
-1 Constellation
-2 Miranda
-3 Saber
Used Sabers as Anti-Fighter vessels.
Turn 1: Out of Range
Turn 2: Fired 15 Torps at Saggi. Ambassador full DEW, Sabers targeting
T-Bolts with full OEW.
Saggi fired 6 Missiles at Saber (damned!). Five Missiles hit, but
causes only minor damage. Starfurys on Anti-ballistic Mission and bad
Luck: only 8 Torps. hit and destroyed the port side of the Saggi.
Sabers destroyed three T-Bolts.
Turn 3: Omega opened concentrated Fire (centerlined) on one Excelsior,
which lost the Initiative: destroyed!
Turn 4: Ambassador targeted by all EA-Ships and Fighters. Lost its Bow
and Stern. My Ships fired at the Saggi, but again bad luck; I'd never
rolled soooo many "1" for the damage roll: Fore side heavily damaged.
Previously fired Torps destroyed nearly the Fore side of the Oly, but
it wasn't enough (4 Structure remains).
Turn 5: Ambassador further damaged, lost Shield Generator (oh no!),
but survives, Constellation damaged. My Ships hold fire and recharged
the Phasers.
Turn 6: Ambassador retreats, other Ships tried to blow away the Oly,
but missed with the majority of their shots. Aft side now heavily
damaged, too.
Turn 7: Agreed to end the battle (time was out).
Summary:
One Excelsior destroyed, Ambassador escaped (a piece of junk),
Constellation retreats, too. 2 Sabers light damaged. 1 Saber, 2
Mirandas, 1 Excelsior undamaged.
EA lost 3 T-Bolts and one Starfury, Saggitarius and Olympus heavily
damaged, Artemis nearly untouched and Omega brand-new.
O.K. I've had a bad luck on the dice rolls this time, but despite this
are the EA and serious Foe for UFP-Ships. The Interceptors and SPB-
Batteries turn the dice roll in his favor AND reduces the damage by
the torps. With Anti-Ballistic Support of Fighters and the heavy
structure, the EA can survive much more hits than e.g. the Brakiri.
In this case the point value is o.k., perhaps a minor increase is
possible.
