Lifetime Rating for Mellinium_Ben21: 4.8182 |  | For those of you who`ve never seen my BR`s,I only do HOMEWORLD BATTLE REPORTS!Just to clear up the insults usually recieved about what game it was.
Overview:This was a very long and drawn out.It ended with a very WW2-ish carrier brawl.
Players:Me,Cr@ckhe@db@st@rd.
Observer:Psych0B!ll,bastard lagged out though so I had to boot him.
Species:I went off my usual pattern and drew a Taiidan,he was Kushan.
Conditions:Research on,RU injections of 3700(the cost of a heavy cruiser) every 2 minutes,a one time lump sum of 7400(cost of 2 heavy cruisers) after 10 minutes.Fuel was turned off,hyperspacing on,no unit capping.
Map:Feilds of Plaz.
Estimated Casualties:Between both of us,I`d say around 8000 for each of us.
Starting positions:Me,6:15/6:13.Cr@ck,3:25/8:52
Initial build-up & Skirmish
I`d just finished eating when I started playing this,Cr@ck was just chillin` in my regular channel and started laming on people I happened to know so I decided to school him in the art of ass-kicking on Homeworld.We started off with the regular Homeworld equivelent of turbo-newbie,I went for Corvettes though,He went for fighters
.Lots of fighters.I had a couple dozen MGC`s and 72 Defenders at my MS when he tried the initial scout/interceptor rush(the HW equivelent to the crackheadling rush).
Unfortunatley for him,everyone knows that Corvettes royally own the shit out of fighters.Especially scouts and interceptors.I lost about 15 Defenders and 6 or 7 MGC`s while his entire rush-force got obliterated.
Counterstrike
I COULD have capitalized and kicked his ass through his chest with all my ships but I opted for a LC rush.50 Light Corvettes came in from the front,took his defending force then massacred the Research ship.With his Tech totally frozen until he could either fight me off and build more or warp away and build another.Since he was pretty much helpless I stopped `vette and fighter research and went for capitals/super capitals.
Little shit fights back:
Cr@ck happens to be one of the more ruthless opponents I`ve fought.This proves it:After a 5 minute wait my LC`s begin to get bored and open up on his MS.Suddenly 300 scouts burst out of hangar bay and rip into my LC`s.Corvettes may own fighters, but not when its outgunned more than 3 to 1.My LC`s,the ones that are still alive,take a plunge and kamikaze into his MS.After this I start a massively large build order for Defenders and MGC`s.By the time it`s half-way through the build order he begiins a 250 scout attack.Unfortunatly for him,scouts don`t fair very well when evenly matched with MGC`s and Defenders.The attack causes more damage to my ego than anything else.He then sits back down and starts teching again.Teching like a whore.
Silence on the Battlefeild:
Cr@ck and I both withdraw all forces but scouting groups and resourcers back to our MS`s.For the next 5 minutes we barely even speak aside from the occasional insults
.I tech up to Destroyers and Carriers.He`s already at the HC level,must`ve been focusing solely on HC`s.I start whipping up 5 Carriers,15 Destroyers and 15 MD`s (Missile Destroyers).From what I can tell he`s going for HC`s,Carriers and regular Destroyers.Guess he doesn`t know how to use MD`s very well.
Pearl Harbor Rip-Off:
After a few more minutes 500 or more AB`s(Attack Bombers) come in out of nowhere and waste my MS and pack of Frigates.I manage to hyper away the rest of my fleet except fighters. I scuttle the Fighters and take most,if not all,of his AB`s out .As for me,I had all 5 Carriers and the 15/15 build-order finished when he attacked and warped them away before he could kill them.With that in mind I retaliate with 750 Minelayers and 1000 AB`s.I totally @#$%ing waste his MS and 4 or 5 HC`s.He is now pissed because the main requirement of his HC strategy is now dead.He however maintains 8 Carriers and 10 HC`s.Plus a dozen or so Destroyers.
The big brawl:
After about half an hour of no fighting my regular Destroyers have a run-in with a HC. HC`s may own in 1-1`s with weaker ships,but not 15-1 odds.The Destroyers blast the HC into oblivion and cause Cr@ck to start grouping his units more tightly.After this both our fleets meet up in the nebula and start beating one another sensless.
For a good 10-20 minutes our ships beat the shit out of each other.The only reason fighting continues during this period is because he keeps sending frigates in to replace every ship he loses.The fight finally ends when my Destroyer`s/ICF`s(Ion Cannon Frigates)/AF`s(Assault Frigates) kill his last HC.The fight has cost us both an ass load of ships.of my 15/15 it`s now 9/15.He`s only got Destroyers and frigates so now the advantage is mine.
Now he learns why you use MD`s:
Five minutes pass as he antagonizes me to try and fight him face to face.I pretty much ignore him while my RU count goes up high enough to warp my 9/15 MD/Destroyer force into position.After that I launch a CF(Cloaked Fighter) and spy on him,he`s got mostly `vettes/fighters and only 20 Frigates/Destroyers.I warp my entire force in below him for a spin off of my old "Hades Umbrella" formation.Coming in from below I use my MD`s and waste all his fighters/`vettes and destroy a Carrier and Destroyer and some Frigates with a massive Missile Voley from the MD`s.His fighting force quickly dies under the strain of my remaining 9 Destroyers.
Cr@ck cangratulates me as I demolish the last of his Carriers.
Winner:Me
Runner-up/Total Loser:Cr@ckHe@dB@st@rd
Lessons Learned:
1:Use every ship at your disposal.
2:Those who don`t learn to use MD`s are doomed to get killed by them.
3:Heavy Cruiser`s can`t change the course of a battle when there`s not enough of them.
Okay then,begin with the jokes,put downs,insults and lame ass insults about the game.
