Turtle Tactics: load-move-launch, load-move-launch
Turtle Tactics: (turtles are only vulnerable when moving)
OK I had those minor-AI's (non-spreading) in very strategic systems. I didnt want to take them out. In fact, I was going to strengthen them for awhile. But I did want to move thru their area and it was before I had cloaking.
I already had a small transport with the ability to launch satellites so I came up with this method. I would fly my limit of movement and launch satellites. Then next turn I would pick up the sats, fly as far as I could, launch sats.
It worked so well that Ive used it at other times when I needed to move thru hostile territory. Anything that would launch/recover seems to work well. I also did it with mines an cursed not remembering that they couldnt be recovered but it turned out useful anyway since it gave me a set of stepping stones exactly far enough apart to allow me ships to move thru.
It might be an obvious thing but it seems handy.
