Default Don\'t forget about massive mounts!

Hey there,
While invading a system I had a rude awakening on one of the enemies planets. It seems he floated a space station with a massive mount Wave Motion Gun. Kiss my fleet good bye! 700 Damage from that gun plus he had tons of shielding. I had trouble even with Null Space Guns. I totally forgot that you can change the size of mount type guns(increasing damage). I would think that others have too.

Forget about different mounts and you can forget about winning the game. It that simple folks.

Actually, I just punted an AI opponent all over the map with my fleet of destroyers packing normal-mounted null space weaponry. I had ECM, stealth armour, size and racial bonuses, and they had put all their RPs into their Psychic Weaponry and Ship Construction projects, which left them sadly lacking in the Combat Sensor department.

It didn't work so well against the guys on their other side though . . . lucky I got those larger hulls when the first opponent surrendered!
