It depends on the fleet makeup. Generally i consider fighters to be defensive (to kill their bombers) and bombers to be offensive (to kill their larger ships) since i usually dont build flak frigates, i use more fighters, usually 2:1 or 3:1. If i were to build flak frigates for my fleets, i would flip that ratio, or maybe go all bombers.
I"m game: im a good RTS player (since starcraft and AOE2 baby!) but im pretty new at this game so it'll take awhile before i start eating worlds and zerg rushing :p
so what do you guys think of the advent scouts with the suicide attack?
.. lol
Ok so is there a general consensus that exporation late game is worth it? Say, i've got 3k cash and instead of buying a cap, i explore all over the place. That would be worth it?
so does anyone actaully spend the resources on planetary exploration? i've only done it 4 times so far and 3 of those times i've gotten nothing. The increased crystal resourcing on the 4th one was kind of nice. Anyways, what are you experiences with planetary exploration? worth the money?

I've got a few tricks that I've been using: note that i havent played a multiplayer game yet. 1) Offensive turret construction: during fleet combat on your world, tell your constructors to make turrets withing firing range of the enemy fleet. either he wont notice them until they're beaming his fleet, or he'll try to shoot them which cuts the dmg your fleet will be taking. 2) Scout frigates: these are imo, one of the most versitile defensive craft. there are two ways to deplo
easy to play.. hard to win. My kind of game. If only i could find some people to multiplayer with.
I prefer advent: i'm an experienced RTS player but i have only played a few medium maps on this game. I usually go with the colony capital first b/c the colonizing cost decrease lets me get more infra in early so i lose less $$ to underdevelopment. What are some good advent tips? I've been loving the big combat cruisers, even though they are expensive. Why would you want to scuttle the capital ship factory once you've made your first cap ship?
