no, the 2 AIs have same planets as I do on their sides of the map, the idea is that you only need to defend one spot and you can fortify it so you can take out a larger fleet without losses If you want to delay one (or 2) of the AIs from attacking too early - put a pirate planet right after his choke planet, this way its still kinda fair but he needs to kill pirates first while you hold off the second AI... And the first attack from the pirate-killer AI will be more fun cause he got a

you dont need to exploit SB or play on point blank, just make a custom map where every player has a choke point planet connected to the star in the middle (I was just playing with 2 visious AI on that map) rush to that planet, build maxed defenses and camp there... 34 beam platforms with synergy and a hangar for extra shield regen and mines + your fleet = no losses if 1 full fleet attacks. If they come together you lose like 20% stuff there but the battle is so much fun to watch Im go

Thats why I play Advent, not only they have cool looking lasers but their capital ships are great in mass battles For me the main reason to have more capital ships is to be able to support the fleet and kill enemy fighters... no other 2 ships can pretty much one-shot 50 squadrons, and having 13-16 capital ships makes sure I always have the most important abilities in the fleet -- mass strike craft death, mass shield recharge, radiance battleship's disable and 6 lvl huge AoE gun +

another question: is there a better way of dealing with size 150+ huge mine field farms except tanking the damage with capital ships? Vicious AI really likes mines and it takes forever to clear them out to secure the route for reinforcements. a bit disappointing that even in super late game AI doesnt build more than 6 cap ships... 6 can be easily disabled in 1500 vs. 1500 fleet supply battle, enemy strike craft killed with my cap ship skills and then its over.

oh, thx for the info, 6x resource bonus explains it I guess lol now Im impressed that I managed to keep up so well...

So I started to play the game few days ago, have beaten 2 unfair AI opponents working together and now tried to play 1v1 against a vicious AI well, I dont know how but he is outproducing me so bad. Im advent, hes TEC, by the time I have 4 cap ships (yes, I love them, especially those pew pew lasers) and like 20 small ships he got 2-3 cap ships and 60+ ships (already including heavy cruisers) with almost all hull upgrades and like 50% weapon/armor upgrades. I have no idea how t
