Hello space friends!
I am Lyris Nairn, and I am going to post some words. I know you terrible people hate reading so I decided to break it up for you into a nice little FAQ. You might or might not do anything about the words that I'm posting, and that's okay.
What words are you posting? Goonfleet has released a new fleet doctrine recently.
Why does this matter to you? It doesn't, because you're not in Goonfleet.
How can I use this information? You could figure out what the fleet doctrine is and then speculate on the items called for in that fleet; alternately, you can theorycraft a reasonable counter to that doctrine and speculate on the items called for in that counter.
But Lyris, I'm lazy. Can't you just tell me? Ugh. Fine. Alphafleet involves Maelstroms with Artillery; Welpfleet involves Hurricanes with Autocannons; Tengufleet is a work in progress.
What do you stand to gain from this post? It killed a couple of minutes during a boring lecture.
Can you get me into Goonfleet? No.

Edited by: Devai Starchild on 03/08/2011 16:42:12 So that is where the missiles went this morning.
Edit: You know, I half expect you to say this and be actually making a counter fleet to whatever the other alliances are going to inevitably build to counter this. But that's just speculation and poorly informed speculation at that. If I knew more about fleet makeup I could probably take advantage of that.
Just send me a mail in advance next time you do this and Ill send your alliance a check for a couple trillion. -------------------------------------------

Clearly I cannot sell the counter fleet because you'll counter that.
But then, if I sell the counter-counter fleet, you'll be ready to sell the counter-counter-counter fleet...
So then, I must be ready to sell the counter^4 fleet, and hope you don't have a counter^5 fleet.

The correct term for "a fleet intended to counter another fleet" is not "counter-fleet." It's "counter-fleet fleet." Similarly, you counter a "counter-fleet fleet" with a "counter-counter-fleet fleet fleet." You're always supposed to have one more "fleet" than "counter," otherwise nothing will blow up.
Granted, this information comes from civilian linguists, rather than from military sources. Military sources would almost certainly be using acronyms instead.

So that's how you're spinning it.

We can no longer spin our ships and we refuse to accept doing so in the fitting window as a viable alternative.
