easy enemy fleet tactics

[grhluna]

if you wanna stray a while from the trade mine and what else not mission path and destroy large capital ships and escorts
and you're not the small fighter ship type of player here are some easy tips to destroy large enemy fleets
- get money first from trading go into hostile territory
and explore sectors you need a deploy and build constructor
deploy sensor station once in a while, set nav course on autopilot
when you notice hostile ships on radar build stations nearby
- easy combination is build and deploy constructor, mantis drive, cargo c5, shield x5,shield recharger, plat mining beam, stealth generator weaopns i use particle banshee and fusion laser with excalibur missiles for easy tactics
for ship i use starmaster for mining its an exploration ship
i use 10 engine, 2 shield cargo 5 fuel 4000 wing 3 crew 5
eq 8 cm 1 hardpoint 8
here comes the easy part once you've got money and equipment
- hire 3-4 fighter ships and accept a capital mission
jump into the war sector and deploy large shield
- tell your fighters to defend and attack hostiles
- put your shields to maximum engage your stealth
go outside the shield and pick an enemy escort, deactivate stealth and hit him with bombs, lasers, stay close to the shield because you're stealth deactivated will leave you with no shields for a while
- afterburner and get back in the shield
pick them off like this with bombs and lasers one by one
when they are gone you are left with the capital ship
fly away from the shield with your fighters in formation
take distance from the capital ship 3 to 4k or so
send in your fighters and engage stealth take distance behind the small fighters long distance so the capital ship missiles explode before they reach you
wait for the fighters to start attacking the cap ship
disengage stealth, launch missiles, engage stealth again and so on
you only n eed maybe 4 ship formation including yours
like this you can easy take out entire enemy fleets in a relative short time without getting hurt..
if you do get damage you can from a distnce use a repair station from the deploy constructor!
this is a very easy tactic for the players who like to play the easy tactical way like myself
you can also mess with large torpedo bombs however these are different tactics with smaller faster bomber/fighter planes
feel free to show off your fighter/bomber plane tactics if you know some for those who like agility ships tactics!!!! like the mil type of ships (the hard way)
expand your universe and enjoy!!!

Hello grhluna, Welcome to the forum and the Sim. Have fun and hope to see you out there sometime.

[Dingo]

that sounds like a very complicated easy strategy.

i will share one of my own. I call it the "AKC" tactical superiority paradigm.

A: Advance upon the enemy.
K: Kill the enemy
C: Celebrate your victory.

anyone feel free to try this approach yourselves.

My thoughts exactly Dingo79. Seems very hectic compared to just shooting the enemy, which can be quite soothing if you are solo.

I like to kill off all the fighters, then park directly under the cap. using Beams only I deplete the shields and then switch to particle for actual hull damage. As I run out of energy I switch back to beams (my E fills back up faster than beams will use it) then back to particles... usually takes a couple cycles for a fully intact cap ship.

My way of taking out fleets is to pull escorts away and make them pop, then target weapons on the cap ship, pull up under it, then unload. With an excal pack and maxim-r/coil, it almost instantly neutralizes the ships ability to fire back, letting you kill them with ease. Hardest part is lining up the weapons area on the ship as you are being knocked around by their flak cannons.

I also follow the AKC strategy...

A - Accept a mission
K - Klaxon, with lots of yellow indicators
C - Hold down this key whilst praying to a deity of your choice
