Default Re: Intel Comms Mimic Question

No, I've seen attacks by large fleets of max-speed ships with tons of shields. Massive Mount WP weapons usually get enough of a range advantage that not enough ships can wipe out many platforms before at least some shots get off. Again, the goal is not to be able to defeat a huge armada with WPs. The idea is to force the enemy to use relatively large fleets, and then to delay and slow the attacking armada so it can be intercepted with less damage done to planets.
