Hi fellows, I'm never getting tired of this great game. In v1. 80 I created a game and still continue playing it. It was rather calm as I was doing empire management and slowly building an advanced fleet. I stumbled upon some precursors and with a few attemps I got close their ships and tore them apart with my 35kt cruisers. What's bothering me is after I grouped up and come back to wipe clean the system I found all ships camped on the planet and after I swat their size5 ASMs they spammed me with size 1s.
Actually I made a few save scumming to clarify the situation and oh boy was it annoying. I really have good gauss turret and some beam pds, few on all ships plus dedicated pd ships plus dedicated AMMs 50k speed. The size 1 missile spam was so intense when I cheesed my way between two points in an out of range with my fleet actually a real hour passed by and I got frustrated. They camped all their big ass, like 20k-30k ships and they do nothing but size 1 spam. One class of their ships has 66x size1 launchers. It seemed impossible to overcome this nuisance.
I'm not so experienced in Aurora but I feel I am decent. I don't know if this is something to look at as an issue but it seemed a bit cheesy to fire 1m size1 amm spams. My 100 shielded 10 armored 4x8 gaussed 4 cruisers and 4 destroyers plus quad laser turretted ships plus amm ships plus 12k+speedy beam ships, none survives the encounter to close the distance. With so expensive fleet I didn't get to fire single ammo lol!
Edit:
I can always give the same medicine to them as I am more than capable to make 50kt amm spam ship(s) but I really don't want to do that as I don't like that kind of fight. I can really not think of any other solution than making a ship and a missile just to defeat them as no matter how many PDs I have it doesn't seem to cut it off. Out of 400-500dmg I eat ~200 of them in one salvo. No need to say it's very hard on all kinds of PD systems as they have 68k size1 AMMs. Either a response expressing this is the normal course and behaviour of the enemy AI to deal with it or acknowledging this as an unintended behaviour would be welcomed.
