Bah. I never use tactical. With tactical on you can easily wipe out vastly superior AI forces with greatly disadvantaged force of your own. I don't like picking on the retarded AI so I give them a fighting chance and come up with my own strategies in strategic combat mode. It also makes great practice for PBW games.

And for the speed v power formula you really should go with Battleships. The single point in strategic movement that is lost is negligable while the gain you get in firepower from the next strongest level of weapon mount is great. I used to go the BC route as well but it just isn't effective late game against humans using Battleships and larger.

PS: The fact that the AI was using projectile weapons on DNs proves the point that it really isn't the sharpest knife in the lot. Where you using TDM or just standard? In my experience the better custom AIs all break formations in combat.

He fought his way across the galaxy for years and years while I built my "superior" "unbeatable" fleet, just waiting for him to come, for the surprise he'd get when I wiped his fleet to dust!

As my biggest fleet is from the aforementioned game, I am afraid I cannot give any number about it, for there are spies.

Hmm, how do you come to the conclusion that I have LESS than 200 dreads in NGC3...... I was thinking that odds 8-1 is what I need beofre I lanuch an offensive... But now it seems that perhaps there won't be any offensive,
* breaks down crying *
-Why aren't I allowed to use my shining fleet, where are the enemies???

Your biggest fleet was made of 200 DN, and as such your current fleet in NGC3 has to be smaller than your biggest fleet ever by definition. Unless you are hidind some information that is.

You know very well where the enemy is, eastward, waiting for you to strike. Or don't you have any neighbour near your borders except my own Empire and my two northern neighbours? Or you might even consider to give the whole fleet to my Empire, I could think of some enemies in the area and your warships would still fight. Why, wouldn't you agree to such a generous offer?

(Obviously, I couldn't maintain the fleet to begin with, and they are lacking a special thing. *Giggles*)

Heh...how big does your empire have to be to support so many dreadnoughts and base ships I mean surely that can't be something only a small empire could field?

(homer voice)And now I really really can't wait to get into PBW games....mmmm huge warfleet crushing other empires....mmmm.(/homer voice)
