Easiest ways to beat SBs

Still learning, so here goes.

 

What is the easiest way to take down each SB when playing as TEC and Advent?

As TEC it is pretty simple: Send in a fleet of Ogrovs (about 20 should do the job, though you'll probably be fine with 15 or so as well) supported by flak frigates and Hoshiko's. They turn a starbase into a scrapheap in no time.

For the Advent is is probably best to use a shiteload of Solanus Adjudicators (though they are really expensive) backed by some capitalships and a bunch of Defense vessels (a Domina or two would help as well, in case you have access to them already. The Adjudicators are much tougher than Ogrovs, so repair cruisers are less of a necessity). Additionally, you can send in some Drone Hosts with Homing Mine squadrons and have them deploy those rapidly in the gravity well (in case you have enough spare resources to spend).

Obviously, the Advent have more trouble dealing with starbases than the TEC. Also, for both factions bomber spam will help tremendously when assaulting a starbase.

Drone Hosts with a boatload of Bombers should do the job.

And here have I been using 5 max :rofl:   Those things take a lot of fleet supply. They get the job done, though it takes a while. And Artificial Incompetence can't really counter them that good.

 

For Advent: Bombers. And then some. And a high-level Titan if you play the Rebels. Adjudicators are pretty useless against fully weapon and armor upgraded starbases, they are better suited for taking out other structures.

an akkan will insure that you get extra range on your ogrov too, so if they upgrade to low range defences.

Concentration Aura from the Rapture will help your bombers (you only need to keep the Rapture near your drone hosts for the bombers to get the buff).
