The colony ship nebula....
« on: March 30, 2013, 01:41:14 pm »
I'm attaching a save with champion in front of nebula wormhole.
When you jump in it will be the shattered pillar and stupid colony ships with 10's of usual enemy ships.

Can someone try to win it and give some hints how to do that?
You should be able to easily switch to different champions and test with them also...
I had best results with zenith one and it might win by sheer luck (starbase needs to die few seconds after game considers scenario won). Overall this scenario is still #$$%#@$.... can we get different one instead of it?

Colony ships have bitter revenge, indeed.

One thing you can do is to switch all of your weapons to take advantage of the light armor bonus. I don't recall which weapon it is. Just not laser or MRLS. Use the long range missile with bonus to structure against starbase.

That is all I can think of the moment.

You can't hope to destroy colony ships - at least not in amounts that would mean anything.
They spawn in to large quantities and having 900k hp each.. times 50 or 100+ ships spawned = your shooting them is futile.

Only way seems to be to rush starbases - but then other unguarded ones die because enemy starbases spawn ships quickly. And colony ships blow only your ships - AI ones outnumber allied ones by 2-3:1 or more most of the time.
