Penguins for ever

[peluc]

Hi all !
The penguins seem to be the absolute weapon or am I mistaken ?
Cost : 1 mp for 4/1 attack/defense and they recycle ! !!
Do I have to understand that every player should built a fleet like :
4500penguins/1/1/1 ?

[steven1982]

Yes, those penguings really seem to be something
I think that they must be balanced a bit more, i lost a lot of points on them..

well they recycle after a fight leaving all the other ships exposed to direct attack. i think its good.

[ir4s]

For sure game's balanced, you can allways use interceptors, cyclops, spectres, dreadnoughts, shock-wave crusiers, nano-bombers and for sure fighters to defeat a penguins fleet, also black tech proposed a good point, they recicle so it's kind of difficult to defend with this guys.

one 1.1.1.1 -fleet and after that battle all penguins are gone

every cherry has a pit

Just because you lost alot of points on them doesnt mean they are not balanced if you are gonna say that well then I could say appolos are not balanced because I lost alot of points on them.So enough said I think penguins are just fine and plenty fair.And no dreadnaughts are not good to fight a fleet of penguins directly no never try to fight with just dreads vs penguins you will lose.

my friends base was destroyed by two fleets of penguins. 2000 in each fleet.
How to counter 2000 penguins?
How many interceptors, cyclops, spectres, dreadnoughts, shock-wave crusiers, nano-bombers?
Will 1000 interceptors enough?

[mackman]

Yes 1000 interceptors will kill 2000 penguins you will win that fight.All you really need is 1 class 1 ship and the penguins will recycle and you will be safe.

well it ok, admiral novalu of oceana prime is destroy my buildings, so my tactics are down, look in the BH or in you base, you can have 4500 penguins is an aprox. surely less...well 4500 penguins and 10 sporators, jaja is too much, maybe 5, and the spectres cant do anything, but if the enemy have 6 spectres... well, the nanobombers also cant do anything, if you fight directly with cyclops if you have many penguins you win, and if you dont have class 3 cyclops cant attack, 5 sporators also for the fighters, you never lose maybe -1 that is all, the interceptor are the only class 1 can do something, and the doomstar etc. but see if you are micioloyd a combinations of blockade runner penguins interceptors emp fighters and sporators will be so good, ahhhh dont forget

with a pirate flagship or a shadow star you can have in the a fleet penguin without class 4, if you dont have class 4 penguin's dont recycle it self.

[peluc]

And I see some players talking about the perfect fleet set up made up with eagles like 0 / 1000/ 1/1
Ha ! what about that fleet against 3000 penguins+ sporators ?

[mackman]

That eagle fleet is old news back like 4 rounds ago there are alot of new ships now that make that fleet not so perfect but dont get me wrong it is still a good simple fleet setup.

hey, why anybody see my perfect fleet set up? please!!!! is a good descubriment, i think..., the doomstar with major or deconstructor beacuse you dont loose!!! max -200 and your doom is active again, so you 2500 +2300-200= 4600 points. per day!!!! and the penguins.... 7 drear 1 major simple word perfect, only you need a dsp, for know with who is the battle, that is all.

[Metody I The Evil]

Well, here's something stupid enough to counter the equally smart 2x2000 penguin fleets... 4 retreat figters, sit back, enjoy the recycle... And then - while he's so happy in making those few points, go to his base, flatten it, and do it again and again and again

the best way to counter penguins is with a small class 1 fleet.(he doesn t get some points anyway) never fight them with class 3 only

[darklim]

If the Penguin fleet are 3000 1 1 1
The best way is: 1 1 1 2 (DoomStar)

1 0 0 2 should be enough, saves you 68 points

my brs show me they recyle in subbattle of class 3. so if u want to get points on them use 0/0/0/2. then:
1 pinguin shoots, doomstar BOOMs

LoL yeah that is even better

But in some of my BR's they recycle in class 4 combat.
And when there is no class 4 ship, they don't recycle at all.
Strange.
