For this reason it is probably the ultimate delaying tactic: buying you time to prepare while enemy resources are tied up shuttling across space. The time it takes them to travel to and from your space is far greater then the time it takes you to build and equip new ships. This works best for those races that attack you from the other side of the map. After the space ‘battle’ (which consists of one missile blowing up your fighter), the alien fleet will turn around and go home!” Solution – Send a fleet consisting of one fighter to intercept them in deep space. You have no hope of destroying their vastly superior fleet, or of winning the ground battle. As for me, I only use it on Dargslan because I find it fun to crush other fleet I come across.”įrom Dan Ward: “Scenario – Alien fleet on its way to one of your planets. This trick may or may not work on the other races you fight in Admiral or Grand Admiral Rank. The vessel(s) you sent will be destroyed, and the invading Dargslan fleet will actually retreat back to their colony. What you can do is simply get any of you outdated vessel (destroyer 1, cruiser 1, destroyer 2, whatever) and send it to attack the invading Dargslan fleet. Early on, any confrontation will result in your fleet being destroyed.
The Dargslan invade with a full fleet of three flagships and 25 ships, all of which are fully loaded.
