Starbase tactics

[KiloOhm]

OK, I had my fleet of 4 carriers with a few destroyers gallanting through the serengetti empire when I ran into his homeworld. I figure, "What the heck! I've been moping the floor with every fleet I come across, I'll just wipe out his homeworld now, even if I take heavy losses.".

::sniff:: ::sniff:: That was the Last time I heard from my fleet, but before they went down in a blaze of glory, they did get a scan of the Battle Station. It had about 6 Heavy mounted Polaron (?I think?) weapons that do like 150 dmg at range 6 or so, 4-5 point defenses and about 6 Shield V's (yikes! I'm only on shield II). I don't have the temporal tree researched (I'm ging heavy crystaline weaponry, I'm at lev 7 now).

I could make a butload of fighter-seekers to take it out out of range of his guns but I was wondering what everyone else does against those pesky heavily shielded Battle Stations? Am I just in for a slug-Fest?
