- Ummm...I've tried to stay out of this one, but there is so much here that is
- wrong...it's more like:
-
- Ogging Bombing Planets Getting a kill and living
- 1) CA AS AS BB
- 2) DD SC DD CA
- 3) BB DD CA SC
- ^^^^ this is the important one
- if you want to carry armies
- ie, get a chance at a planet
-
- I've recently started playing a BB more, and they are great except that
- they can't be in enough places because they are so slow, so I'll usually only
- play them on defence or if our team can't keep the other teams ships out of our
- space. CA's can get places almost as fast as a DD (yes, they can fly at warp 9)
- and have as much fuel left as a DD, with better offence and defence. (IMHO DD
- should have 7500 fuel to make them par with the rest)

-
- Actually it's best for someone who wants a kill or two so he can take a planet,
- or ogging. I usually get a kill or two, refit to SC or AS then take. If I
- have to bomb, I use an AS or SC.
