Default Re: Retrofit Order revocation

I usually build a 'Logistics Fleet' with a couple of Space Yard Ships, at least 2 (usually more) Repair Ships and a whole bunch of Tankers. Farm out some or most of the Tankers to the active fleets, the rest of the LF tracks in behind the main force (usually the other side of a warp point) and provides rear-area repair/refit facilities.

Forex, if I'm taking on a Home Planet in Proportions, I'll start off with an anti-ship fleet and eliminate the defence force before entering the planet square. Then I convert to one with a LOT of point defence in order to take out the fighters based on the planet, finally convert to a huge number of CSM and lay siege, bombarding the place until I can make a landing to capture it. All without ever having to return to base with the combat force.

Steve.

dogscoff ,
I have not tried the Devnul Mod. Hm, guess I should. Can I use TDM with it? I'm thinking not due to the various mods.

You can't use the TDM mod very effectively with Devnullmod unless you tweak the research & ship design parts of the various AIs, but I've a feeling someone may have done this work for you already.

Also, I believe Devnullmod comes ready-supplied with some AIs by Rollo, who is a TDM-certified AI modder anyway.

I'm pretty sure that's all true, anyway. Either ask Rollo or take a look through the Devnullmod readme...
