I wish they still had some kind of sensor ability (other than abnormally long sensor range).

As a player of AII. How can i put this... I AM A COWARD! I mostly just build a (hopefully) unbreechable defence and generally hold down the fort while i build up resources. When i do (finally) go on the offensive, i am very goal-centred. I will send fleets into the enemy base on do-or-die missions. My first one is usually destroy all enemy construction ships and starbases, then the next suicide team goes for shipyards. When those are gone, its just a case of mopping up what's left (more than once i've spent half-an-hour flooding the map with patrolling ships trying to find that last survivor). I'm also a big fan of taking enemy technology. Since i play the borg alot, this is quite easy to accomplish. I'll send out squads of assimilators to capture enemy construction ships and then escort them back to base. When against me, never send any poorly guarded construction ships away from your base, as they may be mugged by some Borg. However, since i've never actually played against a human before  i somewhat doubt i'd be able to do any of the above before i got minced, so in a multi i'd be the one in the corner praying i'm not noticed by the big boys, or even better, making some freinds (The pen always was mightier than the sword  ). |

In A2 I prefer building up a few fleet's for defense. When I've out researched ships I'll send in my weaker defense fleet to probe the enemy. Do as much damage as i can and don't bother wasting time on repairing them, they either survive or don't.
As for the Federation - Prefered tactic is a Galaxy class with two Akira and two Defiant escort's on resource attack runs. If I'm feeling particualrly mean, I'll chuck in a scout ship with some anti-cloakness.
Klingon - Vor'Cha's and BoP's are usually all I need, espeically with a full fleet of poleron torpedoes...that base going bye bye!
Romulans - Raptor and Griffin combined with their special weapons is a win for me, sacrifice the GRiffin but activate it's special weapon in the base. If I'm feeling particularly nasty, I'll chuck in a scout ship to get that extra bit of range.
I rarely play with the other 3 races and forget their tactics.

I'm very defensive on A2, I'm making turrets and technology, no ships...hardly. When I finally do attack I use several full fleets of ships usually 1-0 on the quick keys are filled before I even move them. When I use the Romulans (one of my favs) I make many fleets that surround the enemy base just outside sensor range. i'll have some behind planets, others in nebulas and latinum clouds. When the attack is ready i do the same as above, target bases and construction ships first, turrets and defensive structures second. once all that is gone i just hit the K key and let them wander about the base slaying at will. Converging on the enemies from all sides often catches a weak point. Most people defend their bases at some points more then others, so when you attack from all directions they can't organize a fleet to defend one area. My abilities don't usually include mass use of the special weapons. I plan out my battles and mark points of intrest in their bases, weak spots, or perticularly heavily defended areas. Focused fire from 10 fleets of starships can take out anything. What I used to love to do before I got fleet ops was to make 10 fleets of mining frieghters, fill them all with Latinum. Charge them into an enemy base and be building the main capital ships (such as D'Deridex or Soverigns) as soon as I send them the order to leave my base. Once the yellow fireworks are done, the capital ships swoop in and clean up   |

How isolationist/defensive/offensive/suicidal are YOU? I leave my base completely unguarded, use suicide missions Turrets? What are turrets?! I like to think of myself as an offensive player.... I'm mostly offesive, but I still guard my base. I'm try to be a balanced player. I mostly defend my base, but I attack, too. I'm mostly defensive, no doubt about it. I LOOOOOOVE turrets! I have a fleet of 300 ships guarding my base at all times.  ? |
