help on strategy

Foreman · #1 February 28th, 2003, 09:31 AM

I've designed a warp point defending base with following equipments, but failed to make it work:

1. Tractor Beam
2. Shield Disruptor
3. Boarding Parties

I've tried 'capture ship' strategy but not work.

You made a base that is your problem. You should put those components on a ship, and station it at your WP.

Base can not move, but ships can.

Hope it helps.

Sure but If he has tractor beam on station and it can pull ship, drop its shield and board why it does not work in his case ? Can stations board ?

Does the target ship has a self destruct device?

Your design will refuse to board if there is a SDD present.

Really? I did not know this? I thought your design would attempt to board and if successful, the SSD would kill both ships.

Slick.

Well... you can attempt to board and get blown up in tactical, but not in strategic. The AI is cleverer than humans in one regard at least=-)
