[Tanus]

In stock, which I use depends primarily on my opponent. In most games, I'll build primarily Dreadnoughts, because that that +40% to be hit on baseships can make a big difference. However, in any game where my opponent is religious, I go baseships all the way, because my defence % doesn't matter a whit, and I'd rather get the most damage on target as possible with those massive mounts.

By that time, most battles consist of massive fleets going at it, with the victor mopping up the system afterwards.
