New player - Maxed out fleet, what to do?

Can't build more ships and all fleet upgrades bought

from Sins Forums

Learning against the AI, with small single solar systems, playing TEC.

For the first time, I exceeded the ability to build more ships, with all crew/fleet support panel upgrades purchased. Is there a way to increase fleet size at that point?

Thanks all, having Big Fun with Sins!

Nope. Once all is researched, you have to get creative.

Thanks Kitkun :) 

Well, now that I know to expect a max, I'll do a better job at fleet composition. Also, I got an unlucky random map, with no choke points - so I had to send smaller fleets all over the place.

Discovered one trick though. When I withdrew a large fleet back 1 planet away from a frontier planet, the AI attacked with a smaller fleet (or maybe a less powerful one) and I was able to move back in and wipe them out. Had I done this a few times (and the AI didn't "learn"), could have eaten a big hole in the AI fleets.

How can you get a fleet that big on a small map??? Either your fleet is bigger and you win or the AI is bigger and they win much earlier... Or were you always better then the AI but haven't attacked fully???

Uh...
There is actually a way to increase your fleet size.
It's either for the Vasari or Advent, but one can research an upgrade outside of fleet logistics that increases your ship cap by 8% (or more... can't remember if it has multiple levels).

Phasic Transmissions for Vasari. Two levels at 7.5% per level.

You can also adjust the max fleet sizes of a scenario in the game options setting when creating it:

Setting this to large fleet size effects +25% modifier to capacity, so it will be 2500 for the unmodified max cap (instead of 2000)

And setting it to small fleet size, means you end up with only a 1500 cap instead of 2000.

Hmmm... I've just started playing the game and I'm a little confused about this Fleet size thing. The most I can build is/was 13 - Either cruisers or Frigates. I went to attack the nearby enemy plant and it was swarming with ships. Made my 13 look a little... puny...

I am missing something here? I maxed out all Warfare and Tactical research and gave up bothering with the last levels of civil research as there really wasn't much else I could do.

There is another tab on the research screen marked "Fleet Logistics". You can research fleet and capital ship numbers upgrades there.

Don't worry about getting an even bigger fleet.

Build a ton of shipyards and start grinding him down with a relentless onslaught. :CONGRAT:

The TEC is evil, evil I tells you! They must all join the Unity or die!

Or they could become slaves the odd time I'm playing Vasari, that works too. :-p

(Slightly more real answer: they're the "vanilla humans" side in the game. I never like those in any game I play. Especially since they always seem to be the side played by the majority.)

unlike JC i had the same problem as him but dont copy his line of thinking (no offence JC) the problem with his solution is that its wrong.e.g the advent send medium scouting parties abit like raids really also the vasari do this with planet killing ships. THEY ALWAYS HAVE A MOTHER FLEET! this is comprized of heavy upgraded battleships. if your TEC then your scout ships have atomatic explore you just really have to turn it on... you see unlike JC's methods I always base my priorities on facts,explored planets,defence strategy and 2-3 prong attack menouvers

Hint:when you first start build the CAP-ship yard your first battleship is free on all species i always pic the KOL because it can handle more in the begining why dont you send a first strike for their home world it wont take long its more or less a risky untested plan.

he/she is right they are the ones that brought the advent upon them and their weakness of throwing away weapons is just stupid no wonder they almost lost the war against the facist ,evil vasari

if you have too many heavy battle cruisers then self terminate them and buy the battle frigates they take are able to double the amount of the fleet size and are very powerful in groups.

hint:If your TEC thenCobalts are deadly to fleets that require amounts of antimatter which is basically every shipit just requires the research.
