Default Re: Your Favorite Strategy/Formations

I dont use default strategies - i design several of my own. My usual strategies are Smart Max Range, which makes the ship stay away (max range, then optimal range) from the target and NOT to go after seekers or fighters. There is Bull strategy which is ram, then shoot (works perfectly when done right). Then there is Brawl which is a modified Version of optimal range and Hunt which is optimal range with emphasize on attacking "other" targets such as transports, carriers and smaller ships.

Formations, for warfleets i use the Turbine formation - as i stated elsewhere i find is quite efficient. For massive fleets i favor wall formations. For smaller/lighter fleets i use the Spider formation. Generally i now also try to avoid formation fighting. But sometimes its useful.
