ok, played the game since the original release and have had little problems.
However, playing online with rebellion and having some serious issues.
In former versions, I could in early and mid game, spam produce Kol Battleships and Cobalt Frigates to a level in which I could overwhelm enemy fleets with superior firepower and numbers. However, playing just 3 games I received the stomping of a lifetime.
One game I had a fleet assembling on an asteroid base and an enemy moved in. He came in with a Kol and about 40 of those new corvettes. I am setting there with bases defenses (4 fighters, 4 bombers, gauss turret) and 4 Kols and about 30 cobalts. Some how in some way, I never could get his Kols haul below 2000 points. Meanwhile I lost ship after ship, even with replacing lost forces from the factories at the base. Long story short, I lost a total of 8 Kols and over 70 cobalts while he lost only about 10 of those corvettes.
What I need is for someone to explain to me how this game got turned on its head. This was a situation I should have won with only mild loses to his total. Yet, that is not the case. Did our ships get restated? Maybe new midagtion rules? Or are those Corvettes that powerful?
