Default Re: Theory Behind PBW Tactics

Tactics are useful to the game.

The AI is pretty dumb you can isolate 1 enemy take em out then move on.

When attacking a system make sure you have some troop ships for invasion, missile ships for weapons platforms. Beam weapons for satelites and smaller ships. Make sure you have some shields and point defense weapons to counter their weapons.

Propulsion isnt as inmportant if you have good point defensive weapons. If you have superior weapons go for the main bulk of that systems fleet and main planets - capture ones with shipyards and other important resource and research facilities to reduce their ability to fight back. Launch simutaneous across several systems - diVersions also.
