Hit and Runs

March 25, 2008 9:47:07 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
One problem that I'm having with this game is hit and runs from the enemy. Basically, I'd keep a lot of my forces at my star. The enemy would phase jump in and, with my fleet being idiots, wouldn't really hurt them. Then, they'd phase jump to a planet, bomb it and run away with my fleet still behind them.


Any helpful tips? I'm new.

Stars are not very good defensive areas. They're not meant to be. Station defenses at your planets.

Yeah but the AI just attacks randomly. It's impossible to tell where they will attack.

Build a bunch of turrets and hangar defense to guard your planets, if you're Vasari build a bunch of Phase Gates (makes an instant phase lane). You can also station a few frigates to each planet, but that would completely suck up your fleet supply. Good Luck!
