Well as with the screens page I'm gonna have to worry about buildin the armada for a while so stick with me :)
Another thing I would like to talk to you about is Fighters vs. Frigates and Capital ships they both have a equal RU's to firepower ratio but fighters have 2 main weaknesses while frigates only have one. Fighters for instace are easely destroyed. so even if you have 200 interceptors heading towards a large group of assult frigates. you might now win if the oppenent is good enough. Also, I would like to remind you of Fighters Fuel Burn Even though it might seem like they last forever they wont there are alot of big maps out there and fighters cant waist fuel goign on an interstelar road trip to reach the enemy.
Frigates and capitol ship vessels have only one relatively bad weakness, they're manuverability. I think it would of been alot worse if it wasn't for that fact that they have HIgh coverage ranges.
I really hope you find this enlightening and informational and that you try out all possibal Stratigies before you stick to one. That will hopefully improve your experiance and the fun of the game. Back to the 703rd Hyperspace Relief Squad
