Quickie about "Stable Wormholes"

[Vanigo]

Yeah, I can't figure out how you're supposed to beat invaders without either ridiculous tech levels or about fifty times their tonnage sitting on the wormhole. (You need a disgusting number of ships, because you will only get one shot. After that, they're out of beam range. And you need 100% TF training to get that one shot off.) Too fast to fight with beams, and too durable to fight with missiles.

[TheDeadlyShoe]

You use lots and lots of missiles. Lots of them. Ideally big salvos from miniaturized or box launchers. They have strong defenses, but it's mostly passive.

[Gyrfalcon]

Once you overload their shield generators, they normally convert from dangerous to scrap metal instantly, but you do need to pile the damage on as quickly as you can.

[Vanigo]

But a single wormhole can spawn dozens of ships in just a few years. How do you build missiles fast enough?

[Garfunkel]

You have a hefty empire to support you, logistically. Not just a hundred ordnance factories on Earth but a thousand. And another bunch on another, mineral rich planet. With several colliers ferrying missiles to your ships.
