Default Re: Torpedo question

Re: Speed of ships. Same or greater speed is in fact an issue when your talking about 1v1, 2v2 or even 5v5. but when ship counts go to, say, 20v20 the damage spread is extremly significant. For those ships, however, you will need a very smart fleet formation. For heavy-hitters-out-ranged the best ive found, as ive stated several times, is the turbine formation. if your going head on, unless the enemy has realy smart strategies the damage will be very evenly spread amongst the ships, and with regen/crystal/shield regen/strong shields some of your ships might come unscathed and others lightly damaged. At the same time, their ships moving into your range to hit the ship that withdrew would put themselves into a crossfire of the whole fleet. Boom.

Just a note, torpedo ships beat PPB&NSP ships. tested.
