Hi DAD
Thank you for your feedback.
<<Firstly, try to maximize the response delay in the options. It might help a very little bit but you need them all.>>
Hmm, I have seen this in options, didn't know what does it do.
<<<Secondly, study the layout of the attack, the number of pieces and the strong/ weak points they have.
Thirdly, plan ahead, to collect the required resources, to build the required anti-crafts that are strong against the offensive force.>>>>
Just to describe you the situation. I am at the very beginning of the mission. First objective is to destroy some enemy beacons so that he stays unaware of my presence. But beacons are heavily guarded and there is something like teleport. Second obective is to capture teleport with my marine frigates (marine frigate is the same as salvage corvette in HW1, but marine frigate converts enemy ship into yours right on the battlefield, so, no docking needed). Curtainly, the enemy atacks all your marine frigates at the first order and destroys them easily. If I decide to wait and build some more ships, enemy gathers forces and attacks my mothership or resource collectors. And the more I wait the more enemy ships comes through the teleport.
Btw, I start this mission just with around 5 intereceptors + some 5 corvettes and 1 frigate due to some losses in previous mission.
I understand that I will have to experiment more. This game is very well ballanced, you right, you can't win the battle building 10 heavy frigates and just sending them in, as frigates are strong vs. frigates or capital ships, but weak against fighters <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
I noticed that most of enemy ships are corvettes, so I decided to invest heavily into anti-corvette ships production. As a result enemy sents interceptors and destroys my armada.
Ok, I will look for other ways to solve this. As you mentioned, finding weak spot is a key. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
