I know of reports by players who have lost huge fleets packing WMG to fleets of Torpedo ships. I wonder if formation has a lot to do with it as well?
One player has his aggressiveness and defensiveness set to 120 and his fleet trained to 20% with EMC III, Combat Sensors III, and MutiTrack III, on each of his PPB ships and still he lost his fleet to a small Torpedo based fleet. LOL. The torp player had average settings for aggressiveness and defensiveness. I wonder if the bonuses work in reverse or something.
I know that I have questioned this for a long time now. Set my mineral to 125% and throught my game all I have problems with are mining minerals.
Also movement and range weapons combined with sheild depleters play a huge role. Add in regnerators and you can bet top dollar that the fleet with the best ship design will win everytime.
