So I played a game and I felt really really slow. I am playing the vasari btw.
I do not have any trouble with starting. However, I have a lot of trouble with mid game and lategame.
First, I learned from my game today what RA does. It basically saves you 2000 credits each time you use it. However, what are the best frigates to supplement it? Spamming RA does not seem to be a smart idea because you get only cruisers.
Similarly, subverters. I don't know how much they are worth. I can't micro them. They don't seem to use their damage mitigation ability often. I also build overseers because they don't come with RA. I don't know how to make effective use of it.
Also, what is a good income rate? I managed to hit 40.0, 9.0 and 4.0.
So this is my fleet composition, 50% carriers, 10% LRM, 1 cap ship, 10% subverters, 10% flak frigates, and 15% heavy cruisers and 5% overseer (midgame). Later it became 3 cap ships (I had to split up my fleet and didn't wanna use siege frigates), 40% carriers, 20%LRM, 10% skirmishers, 15% heavy cruisers and 5% overseer. (late game).
How do I micro my abilities when there are like 300 ships on the screen? I understand that most ships target what they are supposed to but it would be nice to learn how to refocus. So how do you guys micro the special abilities? I just jam em in there and hope they know how to use it right. Also, it seems to me that 50 fighters should wipe out 15 fighters but it takes a reaaallly long time.
Also, what is the consensus on enslaved labor and its cohorts? It doesn't seem worth it to me.
Finally, how do you wipe out a world? Sieging a planet takes me like 10 minutes. The vacuum works wonders on asteroids but otherwise really slow.
