'The player killer race'
GOOD:
Nice low tech ships. Good advantages. Overall a good race to play and a hard
one to kill. Can scan planets for natives before you get there.....VERY handy.
BAD:
Mineral problems. Only one torpedo-ship.
Good ships
Strategies
This depends on who is near you. You have to adjust tactics to fight each race.
Your best weapon is those Cat's paws - so have lots and keep them laying those
minefields and expand that empire. Keep a couple on standby in case some nasty
race starts a sweeping frenzy.
Fun things to do
Send Cat's paw over to your 'friend' with 200 MK8's on it ( expensive but who
cares - you've found a few planets giving 5,000cr a turn - haven't you ) and
then just dump the whole lot over his empire. Following up with a fleet of
Instrumentality's + others .... Total massacre. ( who cares about smaller
minefields - the bigger the scarier ).
Ships to die for
any of those Privateer things with Mk4's or above.
.....and other thing's that I'll add at some point.
