![]() Here are the ships, how many you should have, and their importance. Ok, now that you know what you should be researching let's talk about that killer fleet that will wipe your enemies off the map. A boost to your production is great because you can quickly and easily replace the dead ships of your fleet and also grow your mobile to an unbeatable size. The more warp you have the faster your fleets will go and hopefully can beat the enemy to your base when it's under attack. Warp tech is great for getting your fleets around. Shielding boosts longevity of your fleet. The higher the shield tech you have, the more resistant to damage they are from ships like fighters, corvettes, and their ilk. Shielding will boost the shields on your base's turrets as well as the shields on your shielded ships. These two are together because they should get equal attention from your research bases. Besides armor, getting laser and plasma is what will decide who wins battles against you. In your fleet you should have a lot of destroyers, cruisers, and in some cases heavy cruisers. This tech is the 2nd most important to be researching because your fighter heavy fleets can do a crap load of damage to everything that opposes it. Ok, so laser tech is what boosts the damage of your fighters, corvettes, and other small ships. Anyways, if you didn't know that now you should. Hopefully through the overview on ships you saw the major importance of having fighters (a LOT OF FIGHTERS) in your mobile fleet. You can never have enough armor tech and hopefully you can see why. So, not only will your ships take a whole bunch more damage you'll be able to make more credits off them when they shuffle on this mortal coil. Armor determines how much damage your ships can take before they die and also how much debris they leave behind when they do die. This is the number one tech for succeeding in Astro Empires. Here are the technologies you should focus on if you want to be on the winning end of your fights (ranked on importance): Your tech levels can determine how much damage your fleet does, how long your fleet lasts, how fast you can move your fleet (for a logistics victory), and finally the debris that you're able to scoop up at the end. The key to winning many large and small battles when fighting other players is your technology. This guide will be a brief overview of they areas of your game that you should focus on so that you more likely to succeed. And so, again, the key to "winning" (can't really win AE) is to profit off the annihilation of those weaker than you. ![]() Image by gIadius via FlickrSo you know the basics of the ships of your fleet, but do you know how to attack another player correctly? In Astro Empires, the best way to play the game is to attack your fellow player often and PROFITABLY. A player, if they're planning on hitting your fleet, will end up spending more credits than they meant to and will discover that your base is unprofitable. So, if a player was hitting your fleet for profit, it is near impossible to do so. ![]() The dreadnought strategy fixes that dilema.ĭreadnoughts cannot be effectively shield raped by any type of ship nor can it be effectively dropped by heavy bombers when it's over base defenses. Because of fleet profit strategy, you should be concerned about not leaving enough fleet over your base that you can be profited from. A player has 2 options available, 1 option is kill the defending fleet, leave the base unpillaged, and pillage the trade routes, the second option is kill the fleet, kill the base, and finally pillage the trades. There are many ways to make a profit from combat in Astro Empires and especially combat over astros. You're probably wondering why this is effective and I'll tell you why: When you finally start getting planetary rings for defense on your base, your defending strategy should change from having a large stack of fighters to having one dreadnought per 2 upgrades of planetary rings. So, as your economy and technology gets higher and higher, you should focus on different strategies for ultimate protection. If you fail to properly maintain your base and its protection, you can end up with a world of hurt. Base defense is one of the keys of a successful time with Astro Empires. ![]()
