I have played a quite aggressive strategy. I started to build a warp point opener instantly in the biggest 8000M planet (because the high build rate). After I got that ready I started to attack against Sharks with my ships. I didn't had lots of them but my baseships were superior against Shark's ships (all of them didn't even have a talisman!). The shield accelerator, shard cannon and talisman is a lethal combination.
The game date is now 2411.9 and I just send my first small (scout) fleet of 40 ships to the Sharks Last system. As I expected it got annihilated completely at the first wave.
The biggest problem are storms. That first scout fleet has a storm destroyer accompanying and it got no damage when it entered to the storms. From this I deduced that a fleet with a storm destroyer won't suffer the damage from storms.
Wrong. I lost my big fleet completely (about 150 baseships).
I've now tested storms and the obvious result is that at every day there is about 50% chages to get the whole damage or get nothing. And it should be noticed that it's per day so a fleet will be undamaged or totally destroyed.
Those seven storms in Terradome are deadly, if I have a bad luck they'll inflict 1400 damage to my ships! Perhaps some organic armor would be good!
