In need of some strategic help
Hello,
My neighbor is attacking me with what I consider a most diabolical design. Her dreadnought-size ships are loaded out with Shield Depleters and Shard Cannons (which are skipping my armor). To top it off, they have the Religious Talisman.
So, her depleters take away my shields and her cannons rip through the guts of my ships, both with 100 percent accuracy. (BTW, I know some consider the Talisman an unbalancing factor, which is all fine and good, but in this situation they're a reality I have to deal with.)
What do I do?
The only avenue I can think of is to build a "yabusame" ship with Seeking Parasite V's,
which have a range of 16. Assign this class the strategy of maximum weapons distance and hope for stand-off battles. (I say "hope" because we're using strategic combat.)
In the same vein, I'm pondering battleship rather than dreadnought to have speed 6 in battle, to help them keep their distance.
Additional thoughts:
- A minimal amount of shielding -- since it's worthless against her dreadnoughts -- and use the extra space for more Parasite launchers, but leaving some to help against fighters;
- Don't bother with ECM or Scattering and Stealth Armor because the Talisman seems to negate any bonus these provide.
Think this has any chance of working?
Also, any suggests for alternative designs and/or strategies would be most welcome.
