Re: How do you beat the Talisman?
I had a talisman race attack my warp point defenses the other day.
One of the most useful defenses I had was a stack of satellites loaded with singularity torps. I picked a few torps to fire each time, targeted a different ship in the enemy fleet.
A stack of 35 sattellites really took the teeth out of the enemy fleet of 30 odd dreads & battleships. Afterwhich my bases, which all had external missle packs fired and cleaned up the mess. My orbiting fleet 20 ships, ranging from ligt cruisers to dreads, only had to deal with a few stragglers.
Keep in mind though, that this was a close range warp point smack down, against the idiot AI, in a non-simulatneous game, and I ran it tactically. In a strategic level fight, the Sat's would have all shot their wad at only a few ships (going for the kill instead of the disable) and I would have gotten very bloodied, though I think I still would have won.
Cheers!
Trajan
