« on: May 09, 2013, 11:37:52 AM »The battle went smoother than anticipated, when my first heavy drone entered the system the WHs even started to move away from it, with just 1 heavy and 2 normal drones lost my fleet was able to enter the system with the enemy far enough away for the sensors/waepons to come online and not a single of the missiles managed to penetrate the PD.
After some salvage and research this is what the KPM's CTFs are currently being refitted to (incorporating some of the suggestions here):
1 Flagship:
2 Carriers:
2 Escort Carriers:
2 Missile-Cruisers:
2 AMM-Destroyers:
2 AM Gauss-Destroyers:
Recon craft:
Bomber:
Gauss Fighter:
Beam Fighter-Bomber:
And finally the light drones, which are faster than most of the enemy missiles I have seen now:
Overall I tried to get enough fuel for 50 days now with shields in addition to the armor, shield tech is still fairly low, but research on Delta Shields will be finished in around 3 months with a better recharge rate about 3 months after that.
I am currently working on a dedicated longer range beam destroyer or cruiser, but with not having really focused on lasers/recharge tech it will take some time, but those should come in handy for higher level atmossphere bombardments and area defense.
Any input about potential improvements is appreciated
