Default Re: Oh, this is fun!

Okay I finally got my butt whipped at a heavily defended planet.
I had 45 ships,about 4 dreadnaugts,3battleships ,1 heavy aircraft carrier w/large(heavy) fighters and the rest cruisers and destroyers. I entered the enemy system had no prolem for the first 6 planets.Then lost a battleship and a dreadnaught to the next planet. The Last one I could see was armed to the teeth,so I went tactical.
In addition to 25 satellites,a base station and a small warship of some sort his main planet had like 100 weapons platforms. I took out about a third and was lucky to have one badly damaged battleship limp away.
Next time I came back with a few dreadnaughts and two basestations armed with 23 large drones each. Each drone had 2 shields and 2 antiplanet warheads. They were able to defeat the point defense weapons and wiped out the planet(and moons) while all my ships stayed back out of range.
Looks like thats going to be my tactics for awhile until I come across something more difficult.
What a great battle!
