Various Stratagies

posted on June 20th, 2005, 7:37 am

I was romulan, and I was fighting a klingon ai when I used my leftover scouts (from the beginning) to take on a neghvar. I was surprised to find that about 10 scouts took it down. They were very powerful. They simply couldn't be killed fast enough. Swarm manuvers are the way to go.

cos individually the ships in fo are rather weak 10 rommie scouts would never take a negh'var down its just far too powerful. you saw the speed it took down DS9s shields, that was after DS9 was enhanced. mg:
swarming any ship works wonders on fo, i took down a cube with 6 fed destroyers, in real trek universe, theres no way in hell a cube would be taken down by 6 destroyer . the individual units in fo do not inflict the same fear as they do on other mods, ie, i see a cube coming towards my base and i think meh

That's why they call it Fleet Operations.

Keep in mind that in all previous Borg engagements, we've known pretty much nothing about them. However, in FO's era, i suspect that thanks to people like Janeway, Seven of Nine and Picard, the Feds have gained a lot of tactical data on how to deal with the Borg. The only reason Borg cubes seem so invulnerable is that their systems are spread over the whole ship, so you can't smash them all at once. However, If all of your 6 destroyers knew where and when to aim, i'd bet ya they could certainly give a cube a run for its money.

PLizz your talking DESTROYERS here, not even cruisers but DESTROYERS

Really? and if your opponent sees what ship u are swarning u will for sure loose, cause everyship in FO has a ship that is equiped to fight that kind of ship. For example lets say one swarms sangs class ships, your enemy sees that and so he builds vupta ships, no way sangs can destroy even a single vupta
The key to FO is a well balanced fleet, nothing more, nothing less

well thats ok cos i never build sangs ok so slightly exagerated but your also talking about a human opponant, bare in mind the ai doesn't think like this.

That's why they call it Fleet Operations

plz 6 ships isn't a fleet its 6 ships, and as baron said, they're destroyers 2nd weakest class in game

i suspect that thanks to people like Janeway, Seven of Nine and Picard

janeway?? whats she done?, dont tell me transphasic torps, yeah she took credit for them but i bet ya it was someone else who came up with them (seven before she was killed, tuvok, torres or even kim)

However, If all of your 6 destroyers knew where and when to aim, i'd bet ya they could certainly give a cube a run for its money

plz look at first contact, how many ships were there trying to blow the bejesus out of that cube. whatever advantage they may or maynot have gained would be mediocre at best.

BTW the 6 ships were 4xsabers & 2xmonsoons, as you all know monsoons have to get in really close to even shoot the cube

Well against AI is different of course, Im talking about a human of course. Against AI all it takes is turreting than attack

One major tip, don't overlook the weapon range of ships. In one game, i took down 5 Negh'Vars (AI medium) one by one with 6 sabers without the Sabers taking any damage whatsoever simply becuase their long-range phasers shreaded them before the battleships got into firing range. Upgrade your weapon systems, and you'll be shocked what some measly destroyers can achieve. The Excelsior-B is also pretty good for this.

That is AI your talking about, and I think I know what happened. Sometimes AI ships just stop and dont shoot back at you or anything u can destroy them easily then, I belive that happened in your case. Cause sabres dont deal enough dam to destroy a negh'Var b4 it gets to them. In other words a human opponent would rip u to pieces with that force, he would looose 0 neghvars

That's true. It's also probably becuase i had upgraded my weapons and sheilds fully. The AI never seems to upgrade. That's probably why my Sabre's owned.

Still, long range ships are handy.

Sure are, but short ranged ones tend to do more dam

Also I think AI always upgrades weapons and shields, u can see this when u attack and destroy his upgrade station all units will have 160% shields

i use 5 fleets of mixed ships 4 fleets as infintry wich consist of 10 phaser rehinns and 6 torp rehinns then 1 fleet of 8wb 6 norexan and 2 tavaras defeats all in its path ...(usaly it hase a weekness but that is an RFO trade secreat
