So i'll ask u directly: Have u recently (1 month) used the ICC ship that u claim expertise on? IF SO:
1.) What is the Max range weapon sysm on a ICC line station? (including fighters) Fighters can go past 14k, IT Missles go 3125gu out, ICs come out to 1912gu. So, I was outdated on one point of the Line Station, my bad. Either way, you can sit 2k out from a fight and still be effective. But, as I said, I use it in two different ways. Sitting away from the fight and lobbing things, or jumping in with a full fleet.

2.) what is the Signature of a MD with 3 ECM, Aux gen off, Shield off, sitting in deep space, immediatly after fireing off a FULL solvo.Comes out to 6.2 on the signature, but again, you seem to forget to read certain parts of what I write. You need a fleet and teamwork, just one ECM scout would be enough to keep your signature in the negatives here.

3.) When a Assult Cruiser with all PFE flys at 15gu, how many Alpha strikes can it fire before complete energy depletion?(Count HCL shots) How long does it take to charge it's JD?Was able to get off seven full alphas before my power ran out, and that took around a minute and a half. The Jump Drive charged in 55 seconds, give or take two seconds. But, again, as I've said, you're a retard if you just fire alpahs in an AC. Number the CLs, HCLs, and Torps different numbers and use them like that after the first two alphas.

4.) What is the Fore arc complement of weapons for the Heavy Cruiser?
Three railguns, two torps, four CLs, and three missles. But if you'd notice the layout of the HC, the majority of it's weapons are focused on the side arcs. The fore ones are there for if you have to follow a ship, or you're turning away from it.

I paraphrased.

So it is silly to do a Q&A like this but I think it's fair to say the intent was to point out shortcomings in your recent/timely ingame actual experience. In fairness, you did make some significant factual errors in your earlier authoritative posts.

I remember one being simply the count of the number of forward targetting railguns on a Heavy Cruiser(which is correctly designated a CA, not HC).

...However, the ICC do not have any improved ability to hold the range open.

In fact, of the three factions they're the worst at keeping their distance from the enemy. The shields on just about every ship create energy management nightmares when flying at high speeds, so ICC are forced to stay slow. Slower than their counterparts, who will inevitably catch up to them. The shields also hamper the ICC Interdictor Cruiser, because they have to split their energy between the Jump Disruptor and their shields.

What I am now thinking of for ICC is possibly a slight buff to their shields, and to give them an improved capability to stay at range. Perhaps an Interdictor Cruiser with a greater-than-normal radius, and/or an upgraded Jump Drive with a shorter recharge--not to the point of the AMJ, mind you, maybe somewhere midway between it and the Tachyon Drive.

Also, simply letting them fly faster would potentially make it impossible to catch them. Which we do not want; both other factions have to be able to get into close range so that they can hurt the ICC faster than the ICC can hurt them. We just need to enable the ICC to make that as difficult as possible without making it TOO difficult.
