Default A general comment.....
I am playing my second game and using TDM for the first time. I am in the 155 turn and I am getting my butt completely kicked. The AI is using small carriers with nasty little fighters and and then these light cruisers with these tachyon canons on them that are eating me alive. I have been beaten back out of two systems so far and they are everywhere.

Oh the joy......

That's what they call "the TDM effect", I suppose...

Use more Point Defense Cannons. Fighters are extremely easy to defeat with just a few PDCs per ship, and maybe a couple of Aegis ships with tons of PDCs and only a few normal weapons.
