Just bought this wonderful game, after tinkering for two days straight with the Demo.
I love it, even if all the possible combinations are overwhelming.
Speaking of combinations, I have a question that I hope some of you vets can answer.
After playing a bit around, I created two Federal frigates, the stinger and the Hedghehog.
Stinger is a:
Rapid fire laser x2
Frigate laser x1
Engine II x2
Hedgehog is a:
Frigate Torpedo x1
Plasma x1
Armor III x4
Shield II x2
Formation is usually:
SS H
SS H
SS H
SS H
Sometimes more stingers, sometimes less. if there are fighters I add a couple wings of low price fighters ( laser+engine III) and some kind of Cruiser if some punch is needed.
The combo Stinger +Hedgehog is lethal. the H. being slower, block the Stingers and that allows the fleet to arrive about the same time on the field. The rapid fire lasers open up every and each shield they find and then it is just a matter of time.
Playing with quantity I’m quickly beating the game. My problem is that even if this combo is effective it allows me to bring home very little Honor point.
Any idea on how to raise this?
Thanks in advance
