So i'm struggling against 3 hard AI, locked teams, i'm Vasari. I have control of a decent chunk of the map and i'm off to one side so attacks are only coming from the "west", but am being pushed top middle and bottom by all three of them, plus one of the TEC has access to a wormhole taking them behind my front line planets Why the hell aren't they fighting each other more? MAN.
the pirate planet (inactive) is helping me by closing off a lane, which is fun, heh.
I guess i'll fortify a planet (10-15 missile launchers and 5 hangar defense with repair bays, or more) to hold back one of them, send my fleet to protect against the other two while trying to build more ships to raid with. I have to say I like the Vasari cap ships, as someone else mentioned. Powerful weapons, very tough and excellent abilites. The evacuator colonization ship has a Drain Planet ability at level 6, wow. Freakin' sucks a planet dry, it's awesome. And then *oops* colonized :evil:
Actually their regular ships are nice too eg the light frigate's self repair ability.
