The Irakla emperor needs expert help
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 4:40 am
Here's the situation. Impossible difficulty, Turn 87 or so. I'm seeing competent ships by my enemies, my fleet is overstretched, mostly veteran, my treasury is under constant threat of being empty and I can barely afford the maintenence. On the brighter side, despite my never researching, I've picked up quite a few techs from invasion, letting me catch up techwise.. halfway.
TAZ, the supreme dictator leader emperor of the Irakla, needs help. He leads the Alkari and gifted them repulsiveness, uncreativeness, Warlord, and transdimensionality. And threw them into a crowded advanced future in a large galaxy. Then, after refitting their two battleships, there was only war.
Colds have fallen.. but I have current troubles with two empires. Elerians and Klackons. There's an uneasy peace with the Meklars, but the psilons agreed without either side firing a shot.
HELP: Klackons take out my planet with this baby. Was NOT expecting anything remotely competent like this. How do you counter this - I've never dealt with missile ships on the other side.
This is the first Klackon BB built in a while. No doubt a dozen more are being built. Note: To be fair, a while is probably half a dozen turns.
My fleet is mostly made up of anti missile rocket DD's to protect my Mirv Nukers. That said:
I have the weakest tech. My fleet only outmasses any other empire by 2-1. My fusion drive is slow compared to their ion drive, often allowing enemies to hit me by surprise, but more importantly, making my missiles slower than theirs. my best beam is modded lasers; theirs is neutrons. I don't even have shields (yet).
2. I've been fighting fleets, starbases, battlestations, and missile bases that only have 1-6 missiles a ship, that are five shot, not two shot. But even two of these BB will definitely overwhelm me unless you can give me pointers. I saw this for the first time one turn ago. When it destroyed my planet, which coincidentally, was the only reason my fleet could reach Kholdan. But they have irridium fuel cells. I need some sort of long term strategy that can deal with being uncreative, and far behind the others tech wise (psilons have zort! graviton! everyone sides me and klackons have shields!) and tactics to take out these missile ships.
