I find that fleet saving costs a lot of deut. To deal with that, I built massive defences, and keep my fleet relatively small (though all my ships are strong... I have none of the light fighters that make up the masses of many smaller fleets, but a reasonable number of cruisers, battleships and bombers).
There isn't much of an advantage to a smaller stronger fleet becuase the stronger the fleet, the more debris is created and the more likely someone will want to crash you. If you lower the speed of a fleet, it costs less deuterium...you'll need really strong defense to keep a reasonable fleet safe...I'd say at least 10000 rocket launchers for every 50 battleships (assuming you do not want to be fleet crashed.
What I don't like is that destroyed fleets are completely gone unlike defenses
but I guess that's reality.
I'm going to have to disagree ... If I spent the same amount but included light fighters, I'd have probably an extra 100, maybe 150 ships. If I was fleet-crashed, I'd lose the same amount, and the debris field would be teh same size. THe difference is, light fighters are susceptable to rapidfire from cruisers, whereas battleships, bombers and destroyers don't suffer from rapidfire from anyone (other than a deathstar, adn there aren't any near by me.).
true...but wether you have 200 light fighters or 30 battleships, you can be fleet crashed
I guess 30 BS are harder to crash...
When I said there is no advantage to having BS/big ships, I meant from the point of view of the crasher
If you are the crashed/owner, then big ships are definitely better! I own nothing worse than a cruiser atm. (might get light fighters for fodder later on)
So I stand corrected, I meant to say: regardless of ship type, you can be fleet crashed even if your planet has a lot of defense, unless the defense is so good that the top 10 cannot break through
fair enough. I don't think there are many defences that can't be broken, all I need to do is convince potential attackers that my fleet is not worth attacking. I think my defence is sufficient...
Haven't been on in a while. 51 messages. My noob colonies were attacked 1000 times.

ouch
I know you were exagerating
but still...I got spied at least 10 times in the last day o_O
I ended up building defences on my colonies ... nothing strong, but usually on the magnitude of 500+ light lasers, 50 heavies, 10 or so gauss and 2 or 3 plasmas.
The attacker has won the battle!
He captured
136700 metal, 100627 crystal, and 70290 deuterium
With no losses, woot

Looking to buy/borrow 150k Deut >_> name yo price.
Colonized another colony (74 fields) and deleted it. Was settling another but someone settled it before my ship got there ;_;

I'll trade 150k of my deut for 300k crystal...if you want to, pm me here/ingame.
I got hit by ranked #1
I'm surprised he would spend his time raiding my colony for about 100k in resources o_O.
