Default Re: newby\'s guide to ship and fleet strategy

As long as you're talking armor, try Organic. Organic armor w/ no weapons ships make really handy battering rams. That extra research cost really kills the "rush" idea though.

"SO take your "balanced" approach and chuck a few capital missiles and try to fight "smart"."

Heh. Screw the balanced approach, it's not a good idea. Specialization. Just ran a test. 10 destroyers armed with 4 CSMI, speed 6, destroys your "uber crystal" ships almost 100% of the time. Most of the time they don't even loose a ship doing it! And these ships can be built much sooner than your destroyers.
