Which is pretty cool. This time I died because I tried to spend all my research doing too many other things, and when combat came along I was way behind. Next time it's gonna be guns instead of butter, I'll get em yet!

That's the same reason i died lol. Thougt i im diplomatical free. But than some guys built around me , then declared war and kicked my butt Q_Q

I spam destroyers with missiles, it's very painful, and unless your opponent has missiles, or good lazers, you'll destroy him. Alot of the time you can see what the enemy fleet has by hovering over the ships, then you can see if he has put all his power into missiles, has shields, etc...then you can make a counter for that and wipe them out.



One time i had some cruisers with 800+ shields, and loads of missiles, Vs an enemy fleet with 700+ energy weapons, and no defence against missiles, didn't lose a single one.

Yep. Missiles for the win !

Yeah it seems to me that the AI builds ships that are very strong in only one area, so they have like 200kajillion missile attack, and only kinetic defense. All you have to do is build a balanced offense on your ships to deal damage no matter what defense they chose, then just catch on to what the AI likes to spam attack, usually missiles but I've seen some crazy beam weaponry. Eventually you'll kill their entire fleet from long range and laugh as you hear the lamentations of their women.

The AI tends to go for specialized designs aye, which gives you some room to counter it.... Tricksy hobbitses!!!
