* Grif grumbles something evil about Advent players
And I wasn't even talking about swarms of Capital Ships. Of course, having a swarm of Carriers helps in creating a swarm of strike craft.
I started using swarms tactics because cracking TEC bases was starting to cost me due to capital ship loss. The AI had those buggers fully upgraded for combat. So I switched to swarms:
1 - Build swarm of carriers and/or carrier cruisers plus some heavy-hitters and a titan
2 - Jump to the target system
3 - Let the strike craft mop up everything in-system while the capital ships stand back and do nothing. If anyone comes close, they get murdered.
4 - ???
5 - Profit!!!
