Good defense against missiles?

[mac5732]

There are all kinds of variants to use,(aka different strokes for different folks)
What I do, Design PD ships, but again make sure you have at least 1 beam weapon or in strategic they run for cornors, no problem in Tactical. I usually use cruisers, put as man pd's as possible, build 3-5 for each fleet, support them with fast 1 turn fire weapon ships to rush in when the enemy fires his seekers. (be careful, if your opponet is smart he'll be supporting his msl ships as well. Also some other weaposn will also fire on msl, in temporal you have the, can't think of name off hand, look like white punkins, fire every turn, 4x damage, etc. ck which other weapons will fire not only on msls but on ships as well, (later tech) Ftrs armed with some of these weapons will also shoot msls. also over planets put sats with pd's/weapons and put some pds on wp and bs's.

But like stated in this thread, everyone has their own style, find which is good for yours and you should be ok. best advise experiment with what everyone here says and see which one you like best.

good luck, have fun, and welcome to the best game and forum on the net

just some ideas mac
