| Summary | 0006439: Lightening missiles | ||||
| Description | I'm in the very irksome position of trying to take out one of the AI's main homeworlds. Of course when I attack it I end up getting 6000 ships attack me across the galaxy. Greeeeat. Anyway, I after losing a bunch of times I figured: Most of them are in the same place: Missiles! Ok, so nukes don't damange lvl 5, so they're out. Ahh... lightning missiles, they'll do. So I build three mk 3's, send them off, they detonate in the middle of the enemy fleet and... nothing. They also don't damage either lvl 4 or lvl 5. I'll assume the bug is that the text doesn't say this rather than that they're supposed to. In fact none of the missiles beyond nukes say they don't affect any particular level. You may wish to make this clearer. Oh, and the tutorial does diddly to prepare you for a ai counter attack on entering their system. :-( | ||||

Are you looking out for area of effect (AOE) immune ships? Lightning missiles, of course having a purely AOE payload, will fail to kill AOE immune stuff. Missile frigates the most common type of AOE immune ship you will encounter. Also, what kind of counter attack are you talking about? The normal behavior of defending ships to go on the offense you after they are done killing what provoked them? Counterattack-guard posts? Or raid engines? |

Simply entering the AI homeworld system with as few as 10 combat ships provokes them. Then I get attacked from all over the galaxy by /both/ AI's. I'm playing against AI Vanilla 6 (attacking this), AI support Corps: 7; I have 4000 ships, they have 10,000 apparently. Ah, they have an "AI core cross-planet attack post". :-S AOE immune ships? Frigates were among the survivors though I don't remember now if other ships were too. |
