yeah. if a sharlin jumped unextingly into a fleet of Omegas and it took a while for everyone to get to their posts, the sharlin would be ****ed.


but if the sharlin began fireing immeadiatly. by-by omegas.

I think Edwin is tomcat's or Ashrak's apprentice when it comes to english.

Perhaps it is midnight and I am tired or there is no sense in his post...

Yeah, Edwin your previous post didn't make much sense to me either. I'm sorry but I can't make head nor tail of it!

Edwin, you sound so sure of that.
Try to remember that there is no absolute truths in battles.

Two Omegas may very well win even if Sharlin jumps in weapons blazing. Outcome is a sum of countless things.

Yeah, if both Omegas have their X-ray beams working and are facing the jump in point then I would lay money on the Sharlin being turned into fish food. Equally If the Sharlin catches the Omegas in a state of unreadiness and the guns aren't charged then the Sharlin would have to be victorious.

Either way so much depends on circumstance and the Sharlins have so many beams that in the show aren't fired simultaneously, the mission designers need to tightly regulate which ones are fired and how often. The same goes for the Omegas main weaponry, the lasers aren't always used and the pulse cannons seem to be the weapon of choice at long range (probably due to energy dispersion of the respective weapons at long range).

Quick, kill him, he knows too much

Yeah, Sharlins jumping in with all beams freed can be very nasty, but don't forget that the Omega Destroyer is a class above any other EA ship seen in Release 1! Maybe not as tough as a Sharlin but the heavy weaponry comes close.
