I'd suggest a couple of Lunars at least. The other two cruisers are up to you (the gothic is a good choice but uses loads of turrets). Sword Class Frigates are pretty good all-rounders.  |

Two Lunars is a good start. The Gothic at least uses the lance batteries which your going to find you have alot of as time goes on. Dictator is nice as it gives you fighter/bombers in your fleet and they can be usefull as both anti-ship and for protecting your ships from ordance of all types. The fourth one you might want to make a battlecruiser of some sort. You have a choice of the Mars class or the Overlord both which give you longer reach and a fair amount of firepower. Make sure you plan before assembling any ships. and sorting out the pieces you need. I didn't the first time and wound up a couple weapons batteries short.  |

Ya i decided on 4 Cobra destroyers, im gonna take your advice for the crusiers. Im goin up aganst a chaos fleet here in a few weeks when we get all our stuff. He's sporting 6 infadel Raiders and 6 Crusiers i think so im gonna need some help countering the crusiers. I got an idea of 2 squads of either Firesorm Frigates or Sword Frigates.  ? Its either that or more Capital Ships ;D I also think for my paint Scheme im gonna Make it The White Fleet. "Walk Lightly And Carry A Big Gun" |

Hmm, should be good. If your looking at Firestorms or Swords might I suggest a mix of both? That will give you a solid amount of weapon battries as well as a few lance shots for when you knock out the shields. White, just white or are you going to use another colour to pick out some of the details? Oh, and if you have something additional to add that you forgot when posting you can just modify your previous post to add in the new comment. |
