|
|
First post. Pleasure to be apart of the ST community 
Now for the questions.
(1) With ships like the apollo cruiser which targets a class 2, will they target the class 3 if there were no ships of class 2? Or do they then do nothing?
(2) With ships like Troika, missile-launcher, and cluster cruiser do they change/deploy when the battle first starts? or do they only do this once they fire?
(3) With the plague ships nano viruses that activate in the next battle, I take it that whoever fights the second battle gets the points for the kills? Like if I nano virus a fleet and someone else attacks next, they get the kills for it? Also, is it true that nano viruses only work on up to half of the number of ships in each class except 4?
Thank for the help! and special thanks to Jim Morrison who has been helping me in the game |

Welcome to Spacetrace Ellume. 
Now for the answers: By the way these are excellent questions.

If you are fighting a fleet with no class 2 then they do nothing at all except make points for the enemy.
The solution would be to keep them out of battle if possible.

Depends on if they are attacking or defending and if they get killed before the class they fight in battles.
If attacking they would all activate. If defending only if they get fired at and they have not yet fired.

You are correct if you have a virus ship you would like to have a second fleet set up to hit very soon after the first.
This is a difficult ship to use.
Gool Luck in your battles unless you are battling me!

Nothing toad except ..WELCOME to ST
A great game that makes you use your brain instead of your mouse button.
That's why I'm running a handicap. |

My Troika will all split before the battle if I'm attacking, but if I'm defending they will only split when shot at and they survive? In which case I assume the troika modules will also get a chance to fire then? |

Not quite... after the battle starts, the ships work the same way either when defending or attacking. Enemy shoots you and if you survive the hit, your troika spawns increasing your c2 total ship count by 3. Your turn to shoot now so a random troika again fires and releases 3 more ummm...been so long I forget what the troika spawns are called. The battle goes back and forth untill ALL ships fire or there are no c2 ships left in someones fleet.
The attack/defence/attack code button is used to avoid fighting with alliance members or in a tactical application where you do not want to fight against the enemy. This happens when both fleets are set to defence.
There are some good threads regarding when and when not a fleet will fight and the tactical use of attack codes. |

There is no differnence in attack or defence , all special abbillities are used the same way attack or defence , they all have to be triggerd / shot at ( and survive ) to get activated .

correct me if I'm wrong
