However, in my current game, TDM-Modpack (my lst tdm game), I am currently building drone carriers and drone starbases as the Toran are pushing extremly hard and I found that a good tactic against their waves of DN's is starbases, fleet, and drones. Yes they are expensive but they build faster then a DN, and are excellent in masses for defense of Wormholes.

just some ideas mac

I used this tactic as well; but even sneakier. I built a spaceyard base and a drone-launcher base in the uncolonized systems scattered throughout a partner AI's territory (asteroid systems, nebula/storm systems). Then, when the AI finally declared war, I had drones ready to launch at his small colonies and undefended colony/transport ships. Not very nice of me, but I was testing tactics for future use...
