What Kind Of A2 Player Are You?

(necropost I know)

I luuuuuuuurrrrrvvvvvv turrets, rings upon rings of photon and phaser turrets. (in unmodded or future 1.0) then I can leave my base unattended as I launch my strikes later into the game.

Finding it a lot harder to do in FO being as turrets are so much more expensive and take longer to build. Oh well, just means adjustment in strategy.

I like to work with my clan mate and rape our opponent. On Fleet opps John doe and I will split the responsibilities up. one guys protect our bases and resources and the other guy spend evey scent to go beat the the crapt out of our enimies resources. We find this a very useful tatic but if anyone see a flaw in it plz let me now so I can fix it

Assaulting resources is a fairly effective technique... The problem though, such as what I do, is when your foe puts Sensor posts near where the resources are at. They can see you coming and going, and dispatch ships to intercept you, or harass you on the way out...

still, once you start attacking theirs resources and keep pressure on your enemy, you got the upper hand, since you don't have to worry about your base as much, couse he has his ships tied into defence.

yup as cube said

at that point its time to have 3 or 4 shipyards mass building your fleets

a nice tip is to group ur ship yards using Ctrl + a number and then the ships from that yard automatically get assigned to fleets minimizing the need to micro too much and making sure u always have ships at the press of a button increasing response time

...That works.
I have pathetic microing skills. I group my ships into capital assault fleet, large fleet of Shrikes, Leavahls, and others, and large fleet of assorted ships to kill anyone else's large fleet of assorted ships. Pretty much capital, destroyer, and cruiser superiority fleets, and that's it.

I've found that if I make two fleets that are mostly smaller destroyers, frigates, and cruisers, and one or two capitol ships, and have them take out an enemy starbase, then just hit "k" for kill, It's highly effective.

Just send them in past the enemy defensive perimeter and make sure you have them on low autonomy so they don't peel off to take out turrets or any enemy groups moving in.
