Lifetime Rating for Mellinium_Ben21: 4.8182 |  | Game:Star Trek:Armada,a tastefully done rip-off of StarCraft with better graphics set in deep space.
Players:Me,HumpBack_Whale,Zenon00,Aboobaluh.
Races:Me and Humpback went Fed while Zenon went random to Fed and Boob went Romulan.
Teams:Me and Zen went Team 1,Hump and Boob went Team 2.
Conditions:Super Side,Free Tech,Ferengi On(they steal derilicit wrecks that aren`t crewed or in the red zone),10000 dilithium(standard Trek resource),9999 Crewmen(supply1),999 Officers(supply2),Moons(like a mineral crystal,these are mined for dilithium)infinite.
Map:one of the Nirvana ones,set to look kinda like Hunters only it`s like a diagonally turned LostTemple set in space.
Pregame junk:I spent most of the day searching for a game to BR on,the only bright spots were that I met Mogalin and I spoke to Mark4(I AM BLESSED!=P).After all my searching led to a failed attempt to BR MasturNate and Mr.Smiler=) where I was kicked out for lagging a bit too much lag,I decided to try and write a BR on an un-reported game called Star Trek:Armada.I have no @#%$ing clue as to where the date is set or any of the carachters because I`m not a trekkie.After logging onto WON.Net(B.Net`s illigitamate bastard child from Quebec)I found a cool person who was harrassing trekkies into 1 on 1`s.His name was Zenon00 and we hit it off immediatley.After several minutes we found 2 die hard trekkie fans named Aboobaluh and Humpback_Whale.After harrassing and abusing them in various ways for a good 40 minutes they finally joined our game and we were off to kick trekkie ass.
Round 1:Early Builds,taunts and threats.
I went for an 8 Venture-class (first fighting unit availible,comparitive to the Zergling in size and power.) build followed by 8 Defiants (kinda like the vulture,even has the mines.Only difference is size,speed and the fact it has TWO guns) and then 8 Akiras (I don`t know what to compare this too,the closest might be a hybrid of a goliath with the firepower of a pair of Seige Tanks).After that I set about building Plasma Turrets (like the photon cannons of the Protoss) backed by 4 Missile Turrets(like those used by Terrans only in space).Whale made the first move when he tried cutting down Zen early with a 24 Venture rush.Sadly for him,Zen was going for the EXACT same build order times 2.48>24 as Zenon whips the shit outta Whale with only half his ships lost.Zen then fires his 24 remaining back at Whale where they get cut off by Boob`s 8 Defiants and 8 Ventures.The violent battle that ensues leaves Boob down by 2 Defiants and 6 Ventures and Zen minus all of his Ventures.
Zenon00:darn it
CrazyBastich:HAHAHAHAHA
CrazyBastich:language filters suck d i c k
Zenon00:no s-h-i-t
Zenon:=P
Boob salvages a few of the derilicits from Zen`s fleet and then uses them against me.They get cut down in about 50 seconds by my mixed tri-fleet.After this "incedent" I decide it`s time to resort to long range seige.After consulting Zen for about 30 seconds we forumulate a double plan for me to lay seige to Boob while Zen raids Whale as he departs to save his ally.
Round 2:Execution of our plan
The seige kicks off as 8 of my Steamrunners (the ST:A equivelent to a seige tank,fits the bill perfectly except the shockwave is far larger and the range is about two times longer) move into position for the initial firing accompanied by a 16 Defiant,32 Venture,8 Akira escort.Zen moves half his offensive fleet to the left flank of Whale and then sends the other half to the right flank.My first salvo immediatley dispatches a plasma cannon and kills 3 Ventures who were sitting next to it.Whale picks up on this and throws his entire fleet to try and save his partner.The 48 Ventures,16 Defiants and 8 Akiras quickly exit base and leave him totally undefended with exception to 4 or 5 Plasma Cannons.Zen bides his time for several seconds as the fleet heads for me.
Phase 2 kicks off as Zen launches his raid on Whale.Whale forced to either kill himself or abandon his partner to a death fate against my fleet splits in half.Half his fleet (the Ventures and Akiras) split off and stay to help Boob,the other half (the Defiants) make a fast run to his base as it`s already half destroyed by Zen.In a split second of *coughgaycough*,excuse me,glory the two of them repel our offensive and beat us back to our bases.Zen and I are now split in half by the Trekkie offensive and unable to properly mass forces alongside each other.Hence I whip up a brand spankin` new Nebula-class cruiser (the ST:A counterpart hybrid of an High Templar and a Science Vessel,the only difference is the Hallucinations this one does can kill) and use the Gemini effect to double my fleet.With my doubled fleet I punch a massive gap in the trekkie blockade and then widen the gap even more with my new Soveriegns (imagine the Battlecruiser if it was warped by several hundred years of tech and had no yamato but 2 weapon types.This also has a temporary sheild that throws enemy fire back at them).After levelling half the blockade with their own firepower I help liberate Zen by killing a quarter of the enemy fleet.
CrazyBastich:Soveriegns are darn gosu
Zenon00:gosu?
CrazyBastich:Korean for professional,Americans on b.net just use it for someone/thing that just friggin rules
Zenon00:o
After Zen breaks out we turn our firepower on Whale and come close to wiping him out.After levelling the ENTIRE base we learn he has an expansion just outside of Boob`s main.Boob has commited quite a bit of dilithium to building D for his partner and has slightly ignored his own defense.I use a squadron of 16 Defiants to raid his main and cause total havoc while Zen builds a fleet of 32 (a shitload of) Soveriegns.
Zenon00:Bast
Zenon00:stand back and watch the master
CrazyBastich:heh
CrazyBastich:call me ben
Zenon00:ben
Zenon00:watch boob get taken out
Aboobaluh:do you ever shut the ruckus up?
CrazyBastich:language filter
Zenon00:haha
Boob quickly pay`s for his insolence and gets massacred by 32 of Zen`s Sovers.Zen takes heavy losses despite sheilding since Boob isn`t willing to submit without one hell of a fight.How does he fight when he faces 32 Soveriegns and a pissed off anti-trekkie madman with only 8 ships with weapons you ask?He uses the ultamate in suicide weapons.The Pheonix.After waiting for 5 minutes as his base is demolished with only three survivors he detonates all EIGHT Pheonix suicide ships.The resulting effect is similar to 120 SC/BW nukes going off at one time.All 32 Sovers are lost and Boob escapes into an expanding area with only 3 construction vessels and barely enough cash left to assemble a base.
Round 3:We all know what`s about to happen...right?
As Boob struggles to reassemble his once massive empire,Whale begins building three Temporal Research Facilities (The only special ability is Stasis Feild,the ST:A version has a greater range though) at key points in his base.Boob threatens that he has a spare two Pheonix suicide ships ready if we try to attack him.Since we know he has 3 ships that escaped the destruction of his base it`s utterly impossible to tell wether or not he`s bluffing or telling the truth.An uneasy firetruce (phrase coined from Starseige:TRIBES) takes place as we wait for them to make their moves.The the lack of action finally drives me mad and I send a pack of 24 Ventures into his base.A triple time warp later he has 24 temporarily derilicit Ventures in his base and 3 out of energy bases.I follow up with 16 Defiants while Zen opens up on Boob.
Boob wasn`t bluffing and commits suicide by killing Zen`s ENTIRE fleet and his own.Boob gets eliminated as my Ventures unfreeze and Akiras begin to break the stalemate with Whale.
Humpback_Whale:i surrender
Humpback is eliminated and Zenon00 and CrazyBastich take the win.
Rankings:
#1 in D&D was WITHOUT a doubt Aboobaluh
#2 in units killed with least deaths was me
#3 in units lost was Zenon00
#4 in everything was Humpback_Whale
As always comments are welcome,be they good,bad or just plain non-sense crap.
