Advent Repair Platform and Antimatter Recharger

Is this Viable?

from Sins Forums

Hello, has anyone tried using Repair Platforms and Antimatter rechargers from the Advent for defense, I have been playing with alot of Hangar Bays as my primary defense but I was thinking that the Repair platforms along with a small fleet for each planet would work better, especially with the Anti-Matter Rechargers.  

here are some ideas for early game defense

2 repair platforms

3 Disciples

2 Illuminators

I think this hold for a while against pirates and the usual AI spread but I am not sure.

In Multiplayer, repair bays are the primary defensive structure. Usually, repair bays are built first, as they can support a fleet as well as static defense. If a world needs to be held against serious attack, a SB is added, and hanger bays are sometimes added in later. Hangers can added a nice boost. In addition to fighters to keep bombers off your SB, TEC get flack to kill bombers, Advent get shield bestowal, which gives everything extra shields and (I think) helps SBs sheilds regen faster. Vasari can trap enemy strike craft out of the battle in phase space.

 

Usually, though, it's just the repair bays, because fleet is usually preferable to static defense. Fleet can be moved, static defense is stuck in the gravwell.

And to hold pirates? 1-2 repair bays and a level 1 cap ship. Kills the pirates, levels up the cap.

Rechargers are useless if there are no ships around as it can only replenish the AM stores of ships (although if you have Disciples around with Transfer Antimatter researched, you can direct them to recharge your Repair Bays, Hangars, or if you elect to, the Recharger).

The antimatter recharger is too high up the tech tree, IMO, to merit investing in it.  For most intents and purposes you're better off putting money into passive antimatter regeneration.

To kill pirate raids just use a cap that you want to level up caps eat pirates.

The antimatter recharger is a little limited in its uses, since it only targets ships and not structures.

I've had some sucsess with anti matter rechargers when used to keep high level advent motherships and rapture battle cruisers using their abilities, but it is pretty much useless if their is no cap ship in the well. Repair platforms are always your friend.
