Hi,
I just discovered this game recently and after a few training starts, i decided to try my own TN-Start from scratch.
So spending some hours designing modules and ships and building the first scouts, a new solar system was discovered. . . and all hell broke loose. . .
Over 30 alien contacts milling around the JP. The first scout is obliterated by meson cannons, the second barely makes it back to earth. . . The aliens follow.
My first two finished PDC launched over 400 Missiles in the following Minutes, the few dozen that made it through the enemy PD just made a nice little poof on the strenght 600 shields.
The 5 enemy carrier vessels of over 60. 000 tons and their 30 800t FAC quickly mesonblastered my remainig forces to death.
Game Over after 13 months into the game.
So my question is, is there any way to defend against these things with a 120. 000 points start?
I guess if i have waited with my exploration a few more years, i had more defense. But still i barely dented the shield of just one carrier. . .
