The first step for a successfully start , is to build 6 frighter at starbase

The federation has one great problem at the beginn of a game : not enough tritanium

to solve that problem you must build first a mining station at the tritanium moon , and

send you first frighter to the tritanium moon.

my experience is , that 4 frighter per moon are the best, to gather enough ressourses

After you have build a mining station at the tritanium moon, build one at the delithium

moon and send 3 additionally frighter to the moon

after that, build your first shipyard

thats it  

Nice stratagy for Fed.   Thank yall for making Armada 2 challenging.  This mod will show us how Armada is suppose to be and not just building a huge fleet and wipping the AI or other players to smitherings.

I've noticed you only need three freiters per moon. One to mine, One to drop off, And one to circe around waiting for it's turn.
