Re: Tactics Question for You guys
Well golly-gee-whiz y'all... what am I doing then?
I can honestly say I've used retrofitted LC's and Cruisers all the way to the end of most games. Since I rely on numbers, formations, high-tech and strategies, the bigger ships tend to have no real advantage over mine.
Personally, I find that the BC's and DN's take just too darn long to build, even with an enhanced constuction trait and SY III.
Strategies are very important in simul-games. I always save a few Simul AI games on my machine where they're building DN's with advanced weaponry. I play with different strategies in those games to develop stuff for PBW. I have a "Preemptive Bombardment" strategy to prepare the way for troop transports. I have a customized "Max Weapons Range" strategy for glassing the planets not worth the trouble. I have a "Carrier Group" strategy for defending warp points and ridding planets of pesky satellites. The list goes on.
If you combine tested, successful, broader strategies like these with carefully constructed individual strategies for ship-types (which they will follow after breaking formation), and high-tech weapons; large ships are not necessary, IMHO.
