That sounds like what's happening, Ryat. I'll bear that in mind in the future. I assume the Missile Barrage ability is something that the Marza Dreadnought gets at higher levels, because I don't remember seeing that option when I built my own.
Thanks for your help, guys! Forgive me for the scant details. I had no business posting on the forum at 4am :) I was playing the game without the expansions (or mods for that matter.) Both the AI and myself were TEC. His fleet consisted of a couple dozen light frigates and as many missile frigates. He had roughly ten Percheron carriers, and as many command cruisers. I believe there were two dreadnought capitals, and about eight robotic repair cruisers. He also had a smaller compliment
I'm a complete beginner to the game, and I thought I had a handle on things until about midgame when the AI was fielding large fleets with dozens of frigates. I brought fleet to match it, but my frigates' hp just started melting. Within second, half of them were dead, and I have no idea how. I'm playing the vanilla game. Can anyone tell me what the AI was using to achieve this effect?
