Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations

I thought it might be interesting
plz give explanation why

I used to wait the enemy to come to me.  but now i figured out thats why i loose so much.  i attack as soon as my enemy's ships leave thier base so i catch him unguared.  also i use scuicide missions.  Alot

My strategy is to attack early, but Sabres are not the ships to use.  Teching up to at least Akiras is usually necessary.

i usually wait till i have a secondary base and i launch my attack against all my opponents at the same time. usually after a large battle where i completely rout the enemy. unless the enemy get annoying, then i just crush them instantly. :borg:

Who do you prefer to play as?

depends how i feel. feds, klingons, romulans, dominion. there all extremely fun in the right mind set.

--- :ph34r: edit
sometime's the wrong one too.

 :lol: indeed.

borg will be really good.  especially with the return of crew.  those asimilators will lokk that much more deadly

Yeah.  Assimilation is good for the soul.




...





The Borg soul.

 :borg:

I just like to build a lot of defenses, not just like 10, I mean at least 30+ plus star bases throughout my main base while I turn out fast attack squads of fighters/destroyers, and I also make a couple of main assault forces so after he does attack I can squash his fleet of ships than immediately concentrate on his base and make a quick counter attack.  If I'm not able to destroy his base with my ships I will destroy his star base or star bases and destroy his constructors so he is stuck or just slowed down a bit then I will build many smaller bases throughout the map at strategic choke points and resource areas and build up 2 to 3 fleets each consisting of 3 wings, 2 wings of attack fighters/destroyers, and one wing of heavy torp ships.  If he attacks anywhere I will have a fleet waiting at most 10 seconds away but if he doesn't attack I will just set up star bases with platform support and just have him surrounded than just attack him with everything I have and if I feel like I want to play with him I will retreat too my waiting defensive lines and destroy what he has than finish him off >:D.  But I so want to play the Borg, I can't wait to have a cube fleet decimating just about anything in its path.   :assimilate:

6 fleets of assimilators and 4 of ints
they are dead men walking

sabres and monsoon raiding the enemies eco

then akira and defiant spam

for klingon:: bop,bop, bop and more bop, then k'vort
roms:: shrike, shrike, shrike, generix refits, D'deridex
dom:: bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, T-15

In AI play i use a bunch of Sabers and Ventures. build them fast and strike, its suicide missions realy jsut to slow them up, research, then starbase, then con ships. but online play when i try that. lol well dosnt work out too well. after my sabers and ventures i pull out my fav ships, the Excelsior II. Love them things, lol used to school LumpyBob with them...then i schooled him with Ventures to......

i like to build a gaggle -blam- of sabers then try to attack the enemy base, but always fail epically.
dunno why i do it, but it seems that it never, ever works.
 :thumbsup:

i like to turtle up and defend untill im sure i can come out ontop of a few battles, since i havent played any humies at this game yet i dont know how good turtleing will be...probably very poorly but we shall see :D.

If anyone wants a game add me on Yahoo - mutanthippie and we shall try and sort a game or 2 out.

I like to attack with the crapt ship all over the map while I have my capitol ships build. that way the small ship can be a pain to the other guy resource collecting

My view was that, in my genius, I would build slowly and methodically, gradually building a formidable fleet with versatile and wide-ranging capability and galactic projection power. However, the usual outcome is me getting my ass kicked early on, usually by a small fleet of Sabers or equivalent. The enemy usually encounters little resistance from myself, since at that stage I usually have about 25 dilithium and latinum freighters, defended by a pathetic military task force that couldn't blast meteors out of their way.  :crybaby:

Maybe it's time for the Doctor to re-evaluate his strategy in the hope of actually winning  :'(

I'm all for having a great economy but with out protection it is rather usuless if only there was away to make 100 dilth kill a ship for ya

Maybe if we charged the dilithium with anti-protons, set the fuse, walked away, covered our ears and waited ten seconds we could initiate a comic BOOM! of inconceivable greatness.  :woot:

That'll teach those Romulans, hey?

ya you could drop it at a worm hole and 5 second after a fleet goes threw boom. and as a side affect the wormhole collapes

then hope you can reopen it when you realize its the only way in. lol
 

that what a tritanium bomb would be for....

This is reminicent of something I had done to me once playing the original Star Trek:Armada. I was a newbie and someone used a very modified map. The guy opened several black holes and vaporised my whole fleet. No strategy involved at all  :lol:

I willl have my revenge  :pimp:

if I recall corectly that was where if you decloaked ship in certian place you could open stuff of. I also recall one of the patch correcting it

one word  :shifty:...shrike...  :D  muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I usually build up my fleet until they attack, then I strike back. Pretty nice huh :borg:

Eh? the crew counter is coming back? (Is not sure what this means)

It really depends what race I play as, and what race I play against due to the different tech tree.  It also of course, depends on the map, to allow for minor adjustments.  For the most part, though, I'll first make mines, then collectors, then work on some ships, eventually, I'll get to turrets (Or mining a wormhole, depending on the map).  Once that is done, I'll work up a fleet to attack.  (I like longish games sometimes, and to ensure my base is defended if the ships are gone, at least long enough until more ships can be constructed/current ones recalled back to base.)

This is about Fleet Operations? ;)
Next time choose the right forum plz.

First try the opponent out at the beginning with some destroyers and try to destroy as much as u can. If you see your causing him problems just continue with the strategy.
If not, try out different things, basically adapt to his/hers strategy.
Usually though the game is decided early on, so it pays to try really hard in that particular game time ;)

In team v team its all down to organisation of the players that play together. So basically the more you know your ally, the better you will play. It also helps to know your enemy ;)

BTW: detection grid is a necessity in MP games ;) Intelligence is important ;)

With the Feds, Destroyer Spam ftw.  It's bloody tough to counter.

Barron will remember the Bop Spam as the Duras avatar, Kinda helps with all those torps or the Shrike spam.
