Do you have Plague dropping experience?

This one time I ate some bad Mexican food and when I had to go to the restroom I....wait. You're talking about something else, aren't you.

sorry. Carry on.

cspture the planet, scrap the facilities, ship off as much cargo/ pop as you can and then abandon it.

It's at least as much effort to recolonise a planet as it is to recapture & unplague it.

I prefer to invade straight out but if i am to not have enough troop transports or troops immediatley to take a planet in a system i have a few plague bombs ready to bomb the biggest or most important planet - then can withdrawl my fleet and wait for the troops to arrive - this also has the effect of slowing the enemy advance.

Also useful for those of you advanced enough with cloaker and quantum fuel devices (unlimited supplies) waging a behind the backline war (make sure you have a fleet with a big ship with plague bombs and a few mine sweepers)

Actually its fun waging war silently from behind their front line - really confuses the enemy AI.

Actually Grandpa Kim this strategy is for another 2 on 2 game that needs a little spice and distraction. But don't get me wrong, I will be testing my theories on my closest Vrok friends.
I was actually contemplating giving up just before the first onslaught was thrown after me (some 50 turns ago) but my little people held the dams rather well and I decided to keep playing despite the corner I was thrown into. The battle has just begun and our people just LOVE glassing Vrok ships. I wish I could say the same for your ally but it seems he is just building up a force to try again.

See you on the battlefield ;-)

manual system for plague operation 3 ship fleet
all with cloaking
ship one cloaked tanker has supplies with one repair bay (until it gets solar collecters)
ship two minesweeper (god i hatee those little buggers)
ship three plague delivery ship has massive armor/shields it runs in to range fires the plague bomb and then runs out

for some real fun add a third ship sat layer sats being cloaked with lr scanners and tachyon sensors

now you can leave a watchpost in system and go off and plague some other planet -evil grin-

Only when I cough on the bus.
