Default Re: Carrier strike Groups

If there are enough fighters, your PDCs aren't going to take them all out. Figure a group of 20 fighters, each with one Sm Shield III (thats 60 shields) or with two even (Ive made a lot of fighters with 120 shields) and PDC's do 65 damage, thats hardly enough to take the fighters out. So say that maybe 15 fighters get through, and launch their rocket pods. If each fighter has one rocket pod, thats a lot of damage.
If you build ships very PDC heavy, youd be weak to the beam weapons.

I try to balance regular beam ships with carriers. I have maybe 9-11 regular ships along with 1 or two carriers. The punch is really awesome.
