Big Storms

[Growltigga]

I agree. It took me a fair while on a hotseat game with the cat to wonder how on earth he kept on slipping light cruiser squadrons into my rear systems and playing merry havoc with my commerce.

Pondered that one for ages until I discovered that base space yard lurking in a storm the little rascal.

The other tactic storms are good for is where you have a border system with a storm 2 or 3 sectors away from the warp point to the enemy sector. Plant a minelayer in the storm, watch his ships sneak through to raid your systems and meanwhile, lay a nice field on the warp point. It is a right laugh when he sneaks back through right into your minefield.

If I have a storm near an inhabited planet, I also like trying to sucker the enemy to attack that planet by maintaining stacks of fighters and warships in the storm.
