Default Re: SEIV Suggestion: Defense Against Null Space Weapons and Talisman

Against such a base send alot of small ships instead of a few big ships. He can only target so many ships at a time. If you are using simultaneous combat (for example playing on PBW) then the stupid combat AI will most likely only fire on 1 or 2 of your ships even though it could kill more. So if you "spread your power" over a bunch of small ships then the base will waste alot of damage potential. If you have the technology, equip your ships with your own null-space weapons or perhaps tachyon projectors to destroy his weaponry.

Or use weapons that have longer range than his null-space cannon and set your ships to max range.

I find that a Null Space armed Base Ship with a Talisman is a hard combination to beat. 5 Massive Mount Null Space Weapons do 1500 KT damage, enough to gut any ship.

How about an 'unclean' seeker weapon that descecrates a Talisman (ship) or Shrine (planet). Make it short range, so they have to get in close to employ it. Make it a seeker because it has to deliver ceremonial unclean material to the holy site.

I already emailed this suggest to MM. Please voice your support.
