Vampire defense
« on: March 12, 2012, 02:55:35 pm »
Vampires have become a super nuisance in my game. They are knocking out reactors leaving me in a huge energy debt, and also taking out the occasional command post. Of course losing all of my force fields is not good either. :/ What are some good defense strategies against them?

One gravity turret + one lightning turret can kill almost any number of Vampires thanks to their x8 multiplier.

Yea, if you're facing an AI that's using any melee ships then you're almost certainly going to want to unlock grav turrets.  They're used very frequently in general against other stuff (even if it's tractor/forcefield-blockable) but against melee it's often your only way to slow them down.

I can''t say it enough, gravity turrets all the way ^^ They're pretty much my main defense.
