I think Cadius will need to update his XTRa Shippack when 3.0 comes out.

In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him.

The fleet of ships I use for battle are as follows:

Tyr M2, main battle ship, all but the front have SSCs in them, the front has PSPs in it.
Cobra M7M, main caping ship, generic loadout.
Xenon I M2, I use it as a backup because it's too slow for a player ship, lol
Kyoto M2, mobile base, carries my personal Nova, Skiron M6, and a TS
Aran M1, resupply and an evac ship for freshly captured capital ships.
Skiron M6, Personal ship, I like it for hunting M8s while my bigger ships engage enemy capitals
Aegir M7, Primary escort ship.

I've been busy, lol, I love collecting ships and reverse engineering them at the PHQ to build later, Also, I don't usually like using fighter wings, so I avoid using M1s.

If my mission goal was pissing off the entire ATF fleet, then consider it a success!

Why in the hell Xenon I for backup Big grin?

I usually send it in through to the opposite side of the sector with some backup, while I take my Kyoto and slowly work my way toward it, we cut slowly through the zone, splitting the load, technically it's backup. I personally don't drive the Xenon I because it's so big and slow, but whenever failing isn't an option it's right there with me.
:beer

Also, whenever I'm attacking a large, expensive ship, my mind goes "ARRRGH! I can't kill this! it's so darn EXPENSIVE! I could capture it and SELL IT! Or better yet, USE it!" I have a nasty habbit of never killing my target ship because I'd rather own it, the way it is I have so many big ships that I don't use 'em all. Just captured another kyoto and a Megalodon last night Wink

So when I say that this is my fleet, I'm saying this is what I use to kill ships... which is almost never LOL

Heavy Dragon - support M6
Corvette - Suicide it xD
Springblossom - exploration and strike M6

M3:
Spitfyire x 2
Aamon

TL:
Mammoth with Plasma Beam Cannons Big grinDDD

TS:

x10 Mercury

x2 Mistral SF

SHips that are bought but dont have any equipment yet:

Cobra and Boreas.

Currently im building another complex with Microchips only (currently builded x5 Chip Plants)
My main complex:
x5 1Mj Shield
x5 Chip Plant
x5 IRE forge
x4 PAC forge

My complex that other races cant trade with:

x 5 Hammer Torpedo Factory
x 5 Flail Missile factrory
x 5 Firestorm Torpedo Factory

All complexes have their own supporting stations like SPP, SM, OM etc.

The usual gain of credits by 2 complexes + other solo stations is 10-15 mill each 1-2 hours, its not much but profitable Smile.

"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, or you wouldn’t have come here.”

Hoo boy here we go...

This is my first serious game in AP after ~600 hours and the first where I really tried complexes (besides the obligatory microchip one for the hub in X3TC...) I just recently started building up the fleet after trying to take on the Xenon swarms in the shady business plot (Is are no joke!)
As you can see I also like Split ships and dinosaur names!

M2:
1x Kyoto "Gigantosaur" (with 6x Haybusas full of cloned terran weapons before I tanked my rep with them)
1x Tyr "Spinosaur" (fully armed!!)
1x Pteranodon "Zebes" (My current playership, overtuned to 100 m/s from UFJDS and currently hunting for PALCs)
+fighter wing of 10x Ventis with EBCs

M1:
1x Aran (REing currently, will replace and use for valhalla ops...)

M7:
4x Tiger (full of ISRs, works in progress for sector defense)
2x Cobra "Mossosaur and Icthyosaur" (these guys are responsible for my complex madness)
1x Panther "Labyrinthodont" (needs fighters)

M6:
1x Hyperion "Achillobator" (former playership before 3.0, amaazing with a wraith complex)
1x Acinonyx "Archeopteryx" (dunno what to do with this yet... really needs more cargo space)
6x Springblossom (traders)

M3:
1x Enhanced Kea "Coelosaur" (overtuned to 187 m/s, my personal fighter from the start)
xx various spitfyre and venti fighter wings being outfitted...

TL:
2x Elephant "Sauropod and Brachiosaur" (1 contains 7500 Nividium... heh heh...)
1x Atmo Lifter
3x Mammoths (storage at various complexes, using complex mod that gives the hubs more docking)

TP:
1x Ocelot

TS:
10x Mistrals for CAG
5x Drakes for UT
6x Hayabusa for storage

Complexes (all self sufficient!):

Weavers tempest:

Tech Complex: 5x Hurricane, 5x Hornet, 5x adv. sat, 5x tubes, 5x computers, 10x chips, 2x Teladianium

Unknown Sector next to Unseen Domain:
StrongArms Type HQ
Heavy Missile Complex: 5x Flail, 5x Hammer, 5x Wasp, 5x Thunderbolt, 1x Booze (why not?)

Blue Horizon:
Headquarters
Boron Weapon Complex: 5x PPC, 5x Ion Cannon, 5x Ion Disrupt, 5x IPG, 2x Booze

Savage Spur:
Currently constructing a monstrous 170 station complex that will produce 5x every shield and most argon and split weapons... and space fuel

An Aquilo + an Atm lifter full of hammers and flails. Backed by 20 hammer and 20 Flail factories. Fast and efficient.
Oh, sure I have the Aran, Valhalla, Kyoto, Cobra, Griffon, Astraeus Hauler...
My ship is the good old Hyperion overtuned to 236 km/s.
For traders I use drakes for commodities and Springblossom (with only shields and ecells) for weapons. I am currently changing the drakes for Hayabusas but I see little difference, as the drakes survive quite well and the Hayabusas are actually a little slower.
