Defenses

[Lumias]

Tengu's right about the heavy lasers, they only give 2.5 times more firepower then the light laser but cost 4 times as much, and since most players field battleships and up they'll be crushed in one hit.

I'd also say try and have at least double Light Lasers to Rocket launchers as rocket launcher's are basically the same price, but does less damage.

Because of that Rocket Launchers are basically there to draw fire, whther it be from interplanetary missles (once you have to worry about those) or one of the few ships that doesn't get rapid fire against it.

RLs are what you dump excess metal into when you're spending choke amounts of crystal and deut on other stuff.

That, and to piss off people who use destroyers to try and crush a LL defense.

Can any one tell what will beable to break through? :huh.:

With just bombers, 10, and thats at an equal tech level with maybe loosing one or two bombers.

Battleships, maybe 20.

however, if someones just trying to break that, not grab a good lot of supplys you would likely get both *I know I'd do so*

however, if someones after supplys expect a fair mix of light fighters, various cargo ships, probably some cruisers and maybe some battlecruisers.

it likely depends...

of course if it was me, I'd see if you where in missile range and if so bomb your defenses into the stone age, then send in however many small cargos I needed to get a max cargo haul, rince repeat until its not worth it.

just speaking from my view mind, others probably do things differently, I know I've had the pleasure of getting a thousand battleships landing on my door and clearing out my fleet and such *or close to, was lucky to be online and paying attention at the time and got my fleet and most of my supplys into space before they landed.*
