Killing AI Carriers
« on: November 30, 2010, 08:20:11 am »
Any suggestions for killing AI Carriers? I had a 3K mk3 counterattack wave on a planet with a gravity drill and about 1k of my ships mk1-3... barely dented 1 of them while using my spider turrets to attrit the 300 stray ships sent with the carriers. They released near my home planet wormhole and BANG! game over. I seeded EMP mines, tractor beams and turrets galore  (all mk 1) on their path, but still got crushed... hmmm.... I guess that Advanced research facility is going to be off limits after the save restart!

Out of curiosity, what game version are you running?

Yeah I wouldn't worry too much about it then, v4.41 has a bug that's causing Counter-Attack waves to be wayyy wayy too large.  It should be fixed next version, and then you probably won't even have to deal with Carriers (or by the time you do, you'll have the resources to do so).

On the plus side, you get a slew of hilarious screen shots ;)

Cool beans... yeah i've seen those screen shots... hillarious lol  ;D

Yeah I know the 40k waves were being worked on, but I have a sneaky suspicion that this wave is probably going to be what "normal" is from now on! I definately appriciate the fact that you cant just gloss over a counterattack CPA, but yeah, it would be nice to actually have a chance lol
