Re: What are some effective strategies for removing Sats

As far as effectiveness, consider using your best non seeking weapon against the Satellites because point defenses only work against seekers, satellites, and fighters. I would suggest a mix of point...

Re: What are some effective strategies for removing Sats

Suicide Junkie is right, if you have a pure PDC ship, it will not approach planets or satellites. Put on the cheapest, lightest weapon you have that can target satellites (Depleted Uranium Cannon...

Re: Can some atmosphere be changed to none ?

Players who take 'none' for their atmosphere ought to be able to colonize Astroids since they have fewer planets than any other race design. Huge planets with no atmostphere are extremely rare. ...

Re: Two Hundred Mines = Dead Fleet. How to Overcome?

Re: Emergency Build - Unfair

Emergency Builds should give a short term benefit with a penalty that ends up costing more in the long term. It needs to have a trade off.

Re: Emergency Build - Unfair

I agree that the Emergency builds have improved, but I still use it all the time because 200% + 25% > 100% + 100%.

I'd like to see it be 150% + 25% < 100% + 100%.

If seekers are changed to use the ToHit percentage, they should also get a better chance to hit than most weapons. But I agree, ECMs and Ship Defense Racial Modifiers should come into play.
