Default Re: Small ships vs Big ships

I really feel that is is not a question of little ships v. big ships. Each ship size plays a role in any Empire. Combined arms are invauable and fleets that employ this tactic are hard to beat. I tried building LC's with drones and when that fleet went against a comparible sized fleet of BC's the LC fleet beat the BC's however nearly all the LC's had sustained damage in the battle but all survived. I also found that ES's make great police ships. It helps your happines a great deal to have 2 or more ships in orbit over a planet and ES make good guards in that respect. ES's and FR's also make good Kamikazi ships. And a great deal depends on how you set up your empire. All ship sizes fighters, drones, are useful. I am in a mature game right now (Last Man Standing) And The Fleet uses all sizes. Every Ship size plays a role.
