Re: Gameplay tips & tricks

Do not forget that escorts do have a 40% defense with a 0% defense for Freighters. However, until Point Defense Cannon II is reached, ships with Missile 1 and Max Range/Don't Get Hurt orders win...

Re: Gameplay tips & tricks

You can deploy drones in space with two solar collectors III so they do not run out of supply. However, they are managed as single units so they quickly make your empire hard to manage. If you use...

Re: Gameplay tips & tricks

Ringworlds remove the star from a system, so solar collectors on drones will no longer collect supply, so they will quickly run out of supply. I would assume that would apply to Crystalline faclity...

Re: Gameplay tips & tricks

Warp Weapons on Heavy mounts are a nice way to break up an enemies fleet so they fight piecemail. However, such a strategy makes your unarmed ships that run to the corner much harder to defend. I...

Re: Gameplay tips & tricks

Putting all (or most) of a systems warp-points into a cluster makes defense more efficient (one fleet will do). However, there is a pitfall to this strategy. If there is a way to attack them...

Re: Gameplay tips & tricks

Carriers that fight in combat should be classfied as Offensive Ships or Troop Carriers so they will not get the Don't Get Hurt order by default from the Carrier class. This avoids the pitfall of...

Re: New PBW Game - All Rock 3
