Attacking the split

Post by MonkeyBananas » Mon, 16. Jan 12, 05:41

Well...it's the one race that I don't like, simply cause of the way they speak. I've decided to make an enemy out of them 8)

I'm going to start arming all my UTs with escorts and prepared to abandon any stations in split sectors (I don't think I have any in a split sector tho...hmm). I've got a couple capitals and a carrier with 40+ fighters and a nice capital escort of m6's that are equipped to meet the split (yesterday my boeras took down 3 split capitals at the same time in family rhonkar and retained 30% of its shields. woo~). So I'm fully prepared to meet them in martial combat

So has anyone else made a certain enemy out of a race? And is there any long term penalty towards me making an enemy out of them?

Oh and, off topic, one of my awesome Mistrals survived an OOS Xenon Q attack...I warped in there with my player M6 and M/AM'd the crap outta that ugly ship. :)

Escorts probably wont help your UTs much. The biggest difficulty will be sneaking in and out on M148 without antagonizing the whole sector.

Your CAGs may need to be set to view everyone as friendly with "enemy if enemy to me" set to off so they don't run and hide every time a split tech trader rolls through the sector.

I'm trying to remember if I've ever seen a split raid poke into Boron space. I'd imagine it happens somewhere, but I'm not sure where.

And good luck with your campaign!

I haven't, but many others have made mistakes going to war with one of the main Commonwealth races. For instance, what if you declared war on the Argon and then needed Supply Command software? Well, you couldn't get it unless you captured some Argon ships that had it on it. It's not like you can buy a factory to make it yourself.

If I was going to war, I'd base my decision in light of the above. So, is there anything sold in Split space you can't get anywhere else? Have one of each, at least, of all their Fabs, just in case?
