what is better to attack? the star base, mines or tech?

the starbase is big and expensive, but what does it do, it's a big turret, it does little damage, does not give your anything it just produces con and mine ships, however if you keep destroying his mines he can't make mine ships anyway. yeah ok it makes supply but thats costs dil and tri and it's back to the mines again.

mines if he can't mine he can't build. simple as.

tech it's one building and when destroyed it will cost thousends to replace, and if you get out a few ship yeards at the same time then it is HUGE kick in the balls.

if you know something i don't just say, your views are welcome on here.

Always hit Research then the Starbase cause thats the ultimate Kick in the balls think about it

Research Boom his defence ships are ****** and then hit the starbase so it costs 2000 Di just to get the ability to resupply

i say go for the research and tech stations 1st then the base, any ships left should go for the miners or construction ships to really cause maximum damage, a lot of players are going for the base with cloaked ships and wiping it out str8 away. me i'd prefer to retreat and let them build up again for another battle (thats a hint there baron! let me re build ya *******! hahaha)

I say that the starbase makes a nice big juicy target at any point in the game. But that the research doesnt become a better target til later. Since at around 2k Di, its a great target to hit just for the 2k di cost, and it disables them from resupplying for the time being.

not exactly, when my starbase is being taken out i stock up on supplies while i still can so depends how much resources the guy has to how effective taking out the starbase is gonna be

posted on September 11th, 2006, 12:29 am

but if the guy also takes out your construction ships, you'r preety much gone.

I think it depends on the situation, knowcking out a mining colony that is soooo lonely and soooo far away makes fun as well. ^^

Going for the star base makes only sense when you can knock it out really fast.
So you have a mass of ships or good abillities ( Shield knock down of the feds)

Usually I shoot down what comes in my way ^^

well to be honest do you know how many times ive taken out starbases with a single fleet of bops or shrikes its just too damn easy

posted on September 11th, 2006, 5:03 pm

I htink the only real point in taking out the Starbase is if you can take out his construction ships and this ship yard in the same swing. then he is basicly gone. though im a realy bad player so...lol
