Getix the Cromist is on a distinguished road
Default I need some suggestion...

Well, suggestions & help

First of all, I'm Getix, the Cromist Federation big boss..

Ok, let's start:

1) I can't find anymore the link which contained information on how to "maximize" your empire (from the empire creation screen).. It was all connected to changing the % in that screen..

2) Ship Design

Generally i play VS AI, and i use 3 different "design" types:

a. Destroyers
Fast (at least 5 movement), high supply, a pair of CSMs o Seeker Parassite. Used for scouting and "support" in fleets

b. Light Cruiser/Cruiser Support Ship
Ranging from a Cruiser with 2 repair bays to Light Cruisers/Cruisers filled with supply storage. Fast, they don't cost too much and improves general fleet performance. If possibile, on this ship is mounted a Point Defense cannon.

c. Cruiser/Light Cruisers Missile / DF
I create mainly 2 "design": Missile ship (CSM + Parassite + PDC) and Direct Fire (Mainly Acid Globule e/o Null Space Projectors or Wave motion Gun). Generally filled with Shields and (at least) 1 Organic Armor (it is 150kt worth of protection!). If possible ECM/Sensors/Multiplex.

d. Cruiser PDC
Cruisers filled with PDC, ECM, Sensors, Multiplex & (if availble) Long Range Scanners. They stay just behind my fleet and "cover" them from missiles. Heavily Shielded & Armored (at least 2 OA)

What kind of ship do I miss?
I also create some Pop Trans, Mine Layer & Colony Ship. I always try to have at least a Med. Trans free running around battlefield.
Also have some Ground Combat ships, generally full of Cargo, ECM, Shield and as much armor as possible.
I don't use Carrier (is this bad?)

3) What are DRONES? I can't find a way to buld them..

4) Strategy & Colony & Ship types
I generally create:

Ship-> repair ship, Point Defense ship
Colony-> Mixed colony (obvious, no? )
Strategy-> Point Defense (fire @ seekers)

Shold i create any more?

Thanks to all

May the CROMA be with you.
