Ballsy. They now really need to get those reinforcements, and even if reinforcements arrive they might be toast. Truly a commitment to tangle up the Drang’laex forces and take as much down as they can. No one leaves with a Starcaster without a bloody nose.

Looks like the vote might actually matter, if Cort gets stuck in or not.
How do you see when there is a vote? I would love to know when/where/what the votes and options were.

Dreadstorms kinda look like the inevitable brick that occurs when someone is given a bunch of modules in a crafting game, and they just want them all on the same platform. Too many years of things like empyrion…..
Air resistance not being a factor, any shape could be on the table. However, after the sphere, brick-like or cylinder-like is the next most efficient shape. Any more complex structure would have moref structural failure points, a larger surface to armour-plate for the same useful volume, and a larger overall area in need of shielding. So for a military vessel, bricks make sense.
Air resistance may not be a factor, but bricks are horrible for maximizing firing angles of massed turrets/static mounts. In most games they would call the results “rounds clipping”, on a fed ship it would be called “shearing chunks off your own ship” or “mayday”. Best bet for a block design is if it’s transporting payloads for say a drone-heavy carrier design. And that’s only efficient because all the efficiency isn’t on the surface, it’s the interior being an Amazon warehouse wet dream.

Always be ready for the worst, but clearly a lone ship in the rearguard was something they didn’t expected (just for the suicidal level of the action).

Oh look, the spaceships aren’t all magically line up on the same plain and have to roll into a better defensive angle. Lovely little sci-fi detail there.

Space battle going down! Grab your popcorn.
Now we just need that captain to shout “This Galaxy belongs to The Federation!”
No.
It’s:
“All your base are belong to us.”

If the officers of the ships are clever, they’ll begin targeting the enemy ship’s engines, to prevent them from escaping.

It reminds me of a Vogon Constructor. It too resembles a brick, and it hangs in the air in precisely the way bricks don’t.
