New player struggling

[Andy Watkins]

Dont defend planets. Defend Space. If the enemy reaches your planets it means your fleet has been shredded and you are already history.


I tried that first couple of games I tried but had problem then that enemy ships could move quite fast and would "Shoot past me" and clobber my planets. At minimum you seem to have at least an outer layer of systems that need protecting, this may well be half a dozen or so systems with several worlds in them....

Plus supply, I normally base my ships on planets because of supply. I used to base them at worm holes but then have to remember to keep getting them resupplied.
