Zenith Electric Bombers

[Nightchill]

There is a Mark III planet that has about 250 ships (plus a few guardians and 2 fortresses)
53 of these ships are Mark III Zenith Electric Bombers. Any ideas how to deal with them?

Lure them into another system, then attack them with fighters/armor/something else to take the first salvo, then hit them with as many bombers as you can scrape together.  Electric Bombers are weird in that they counter bombers and bombers counter them.  Most of your other ships will be ineffective against electric bombers.

Be sure to have parasites and/or leech starships there when you do, you might be able to grab a few of them.

I dealt with mark 5 z eltric bombers sending in my fleet to distract them when they entered my planet and then wait for my defences, especially the full cap of sniper turrets to take them down. And These guys have 2 million hp. Still too many of them and I was crushed.

bombers are of type heavy: for the moment, your best bet against that is bombers (careful, as zelec have a polycrystal bonus), or something like raiders, infiltrators.. raiders are probably very good at it, with something like a 40x bonus.

Other than that, use riot starships to thin out their numbers with engine damage, then just raw dps-kill them with zenith/spire starships.
