This was an enemys fleet:
enemy: 37 ships
class 3:
20 apollo cruiser
10 cyclopses
5 plasma gun-ship
class 4:
1 mothership
1 major reconstructor

It wiped out my entire fleet,
yours: 276 ships
class 1:
150 fighters
17 emp-fighters
class 2:
100 destroyers
class 3:
4 cruisers
4 dreadnoughts
class 4:
1 mothership (Only ship to survive!)

What should i use to counter a fleet like this? (I only have basic ships, and warcruisers + dreadnoughts)

first do you know what they do, second ifyou know your enemy has a fleet like this use less class 1 and 2 and build cruisers, of course if your enemy has a large class1 he is going to kick your class 3 ass!!!

this fleet:

(optional 1 fighter + 1 destroyer)

40 cruiser

1 mothership

would make some hundred points against that fleet

Hmm... I think you can just jam that fleet when you make 140 (or something) emp-fighters in class 1 (only emp-fighters!)
What you put in other classes its up to you...

At least you can save your poins that way

Cruisers and dreads.Lots of penguins no less than 2000.If you use penguins you want more than there cyclopses can kill so if they have 10 you want about 2000 to make up for the 1000 your gonna lose.But with those plasma gunships i might stay away form using dreads as they cost alot If you can build shockwave crusiers use a few of them in combo with standard cruisers.

Always use the heavy stuff, against this type of fleet, its not always good to have a fleet as large as it can be. It needs some more brainwork, but on the other hand, you couldn't have guessed it, because you can't exactly read it on a Deep Scan Probe or anything.
