The AI-strategy seems to differ from game to game (which is really cool). The first two games I have played on gigantic maps I was rushed pretty badly. The third game I was able to build my colonies without any interference. In my latest game on challenging difficulty I have managed to pull a little stunt on the AI: I scouted very quickly and starterd sending colony-ships to excellent planets building a perimet
Try making balanced groups with a few fighters and frigates with your larger ships and prepare to be amazed. From the beginning of any game I always balance my fleets, as you suggest. Even if it was merely for a role playing effect. I just liked to have a "combined" fleet with multiple classes.<b
Hello all I have been experiencing this "imbalance" too. It is really unfortunate, that, all techs maxed out between two opponents, the big berthas are limited to being eye-candy. In my opinion, it is not really a problem of loadouts and size. You can stick anything to a tiny hull and it will fly and fight (though maybe slower and less maneuverable). It is primarily an "energy"-problem. Weapons need power
Well - I know "considerably" faster sounds strange. 8.5 kts are 15.3 km/h or 9.5 mph. Not much on the ground or in the air. A destroyer at full battle speed of 38 kts will only be 15% faster than a battleship with 33 kts. I was merely trying to set some facts straight. I am not saying that speed alone is decisive. Here maneuverability paired with higher speed makes it much more difficult to calculate fire solutions, i.e.
Actually from the steam-age on, larger naval warships ships generally _are_ faster. There are a few exceptions, but most battleships were faster than cruisers, which were faster than destroyers, which were faster than frigates. Hello all I agree that the smaller ships should be at le
Hello all I am new to this forum and game. So far I am having a lot of fun! Also the community seems very peaceful compared to others. I am not quite sure if I am posting to the right forum.
