Default Re: Best Planetary Defense: Discuss.

Use moons as defence systems.

Ie. Put only cargo containers on them. And then fill them up with different types of units.

Point defence WP's and then the rest Direct Fire Platforms.

Make sure you have the range on the Platforms.

Throw some fighters into the mix and you can take on a fleet.

Always remember you want to make each planet hard to conquer. Force time on the enemy. That way they cannot split their fleet and take out many planets at once.

Another thing I recommned is that if your losing your systems then as soon as your about to lose the Last few planets in that system. Gas the sun. Take everything out with one shot.

And always try to fight your battles at warp points.

But Battle Moons rock. If you have 2 of them maxxed out with units and then units on the planet. The player will be in for a big surprise.

If you cannot take them out all at once then make sure it is a costly victory for them.

But to do this you have to plan your defences early in the game and stick to your plan.

Use fighters and small ships to alter your plans. If they are low on missle defence build fighters to take this on with missle destroyers. Or to exploit what ever weakness you find. Same with mines.

Base ships with the battle moons work out realy well.
