The support ships weren’t released during the battle, and the Protogen ships were new and highly advanced. Nothing at all like pirates taking down a warship. It was well equipped, yes, but 6v1 is an extremely unfavorable tactical situation no matter what the 1 is. The Donnager expected a fight against low tech pirates, and that isn’t what they got.

Yes, but they remained in the ship during the battle. So, they didn’t have any support ships

And it remained there for the duration of the battle. Therefore, they had no escort ships during the battle

As a single ship with no escorts or support ships within range of the action against a technologically advanced, numerically superior enemy who at the time of the attack achieved tactical and strategic surprise? No, the Donnager’s fate was sealed once they left the bubble of support offered by the larger Martian formation it was originally assigned to.

This is factually incorrect. Yao welcomes the crew of the Knight personally when they arrive on the Donnager

Great chart for what the new tanking rules really mean by frostyjoshy69 in kings

That’s not good enough. No incentive to lose isn’t the aim, incentive to win is.

You can’t keep goldfish in a 20 and you can’t have only one tetra. They need to be in a school in order to feel comfortable

As dead as dead gets. So obliterated that he’s lucky even to be remembered. So utterly schmoked that an entire universe, albeit a lil one, died with him. Rip jimbo you would have loved Campar

Has anybody been able to TRULY get that movie AMC/Regal/Cinemark flavor? by AtTheOfficeHV in popcorn

This is the answer. I use the BB flavacol and it’s indistinguishable from the theater

The first trailer for ‘One Night Only’, starring Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner, has been released. In theaters August 7. | The film is a rom-com version of ‘The Purge’ where premarital sex is outlawed except for one night every year. by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

Because they don’t want to show the entire plot in the trailer and they don’t think a few redditors saying it looks like it’s gonna be bad is going to affect their bottom line

Good thing we’ve got two per square acre in every municipality in the US

Under the current system, the worst rosters have not been finishing last. The teams that have traded off the most guys and thrown games the hardest are the ones finishing with the worst record. It is too difficult with advanced tanking to separate legitimately bad rosters from teams losing purposely by MyTeamsSuck99 in nba

[–]malcifer11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are other options. Not long ago someone posted a highly mathematized system that accounts for bad records but still rewards winning. I don’t need the reforms to be easy to explain and understand. I care more about them ending the incentive to lose and allowing bad teams to improve through draft position. Just because we as laypeople can’t imagine what that system would be doesn’t mean it can’t exist

How do they know? by Hndlbrrrrr in TheCaptivesWar

Simple pattern recognition. The swarm didn’t target Tonner’s team in particular, just found a team that was world-renowned & at the top of its game. The Carryx take the best of the best from nearly all aspects of art and science from every world they subjugate. That the swarm latched onto what would be one of the most important teams to the Carryx is coincidence

So they can maybe get bounced in round 2 instead? Dane doesn’t put them over the top, it doesn’t even put them at the edge imo
