Swarmer Hull Type
« on: October 21, 2010, 05:46:01 pm »
Anybody know exactly how this works? Is there an attack penalty depending upon the amount of ships attacking at once? I'm basically trying to find the most efficent way to kill laser guardians.

Thanks guys....

Swarmer is just a category for small (and usually numerous) ships like Autocannon, Deflector, Laser Gatling, Infiltrator, Microfighter, and Youngling Commando.

The hull types are only relevant in that ships get bonuses against one or the other, etc.  There's no inherent functionality associated with the hull type itself.  You'd want to just look for stuff that has a bonus against the swarmer hull type to kill laser gatlings.

EDIT: Ninja'd. ;)

EDIT: Twice.  ;D
