Hey all,

This has been stumping me for quite a while now.

In my latest game, I controlled a couple key planets in the middle, and my fleet was off attacking another player (it was a 3v3 game).

The problem is, with my fleet gone, I don't really know how to build an effective defense with the (crappy) turrets in this game.

I built about 10 turrets with 3 regenerators (I was Vasari) and my opponent walked through them with one lvl 2 capital ship and 15-20 LRM frigates. He then moved on and cleared a second planet which had 10-15 turrets with the same fleet.

I then lose two important planets with research buildings around them, and am seriously hampered for the rest of the game.

I've tried using hangar squadrons, but my opponents just fly up to them, blow them up, and then my strike craft fleet (which took 5-10 mins to build) are gone in 30 seconds.

So. How exactly do you defend in this game (Barring using your own fleet) as Vasari?

Thanks!

(And Returning Armada does not count as defense!)
