Cargo....

Ever tried attacking a Huge non-domed planet with a couple of cargo facilities III all stacked to the brim with weapon platforms and fighters? Add a ****load of satellites in orbit and some battlestations and ships and you're really in for it. Talk about being up **** creek without a paddle.

Now you're talking Jubala! Have you ever seen the AI do this?

That'd be the time for a kamikaze plague bomber, I think! <evil laugh>

Hey, playing nice is for HUMANS!

No, I haven't seen the AI do this effectively. I have seen AI planets with lots and lots of weapon platforms and some fighters but they all had inferior weapons so I could stay out of range and bLast it anyway. I have also occasionally seen an AI planet with a base or two but they usually have old weapons as well. The AI really should retrofit stuff. I also think weapon platforms should have range advantages like bases now have but that's easily changed so...

This particular situation happened against a friend of mine. The deathtolls to take that place out was severe.
