I suspect he use them as fooders.

Me... I just use dozens of Kestrels. And a Elephant.

You see, I like to watch the AI blow apart a big asteroid and have the TL pick up the rocks.

I like the challenge too, but I started a Terran Commander and not yet reached a big fleet, just an ATF Aegir, couple of corvettes, a TL and some smaller ships.

You might want to wait untill AP 3.0 so as not to waste time as I hope the 3.0 update (vanilla) will be interesting?

As for the release date of AP 3.0, it seems that Egosoft themselves doesn't know but I guess its about just few weeks or maybe couple of months as it was supposed to be released in the first quarter of this year (Q1 2013) as they said Smile

Forgive me for my lazyness but can you describe what's new in that update? Is it maybe AP Community project or its Egosoft's work?

It is the Community Project, the Alpha was done here.
Currently in Beta on the Egosoft forum.
There are a couple of new plots, ships and sectors.
I'm steering clear of the details as I don't want to ruin the surprises for myself and I'm not expecting to be in position to do any meaningful testing myself for 3 weeks.

Somewhere out there is a Cobra Mk III with my name on it.
It isn't mine, some rando actually wrote my name across the side of his ship...

Fleet:

M2
1x Kyoto - Yamato
3x Osaka - Yamashiro, Fuso, Hyuga
Backed up by 6 Wraith factories

M6
3x Springblossoms - Kikka, Tachibana, Rekka - this is my heavy fighter wing on the Kyoto
1x Katana - Halberd - Utility ship with tractor beam

M7
1x Skirnir - Kongo - Usually does most of the killing, backed up by a dedicated supply ship and 12 Shadow factories
1x Maccana - Hosho - experimenting with fighter wings, but it's been a costly and somewhat dissapointing investment so far. Carries 10 Fenrirs.

Others
1x TL
20 odd Hayabusa and other misc alliance TS

I usually fly my own springblossom into battle and let it do artillery spotting while M7 take out the Argon M1 and M2s from the opposite end of the map. Once that is taken care of, I let the M2s do the mopping up of any remaining M6 and M7s, mostly to conserve Shadow missiles.

I am struggling a bit with the Maccana. I built 12 EMPC factories and 6 25MJ factories just so I can crank out 1 fully equipped Fenrir's each hour, and it took forever to fill one M7C. I don't even want to think about doing another 50 for a Tokyo class. And then, a few die per engagement, doing 5million plus one hour of work of damage per plane lost. M1 users, how do you get over that? Doesn't Springblossoms used as heavy fighters do a much better job mowing down AI fighters?

As for Terran Fleets, I rely on capital ships (Vidar, Katana, Vali, Springblossom and bigger ships) and use the fighters only for one or two M1 (and/or M2+ Valhalla, read below)

Also note that some of the ships can dock M6 corvettes, M8 bombers and TS, TP and TM transporters (and fighters of course), examples:

Maccana, yes M7Cs can carry corvettes & transporters
Kyoto, can carry up-to 6
Valhalla, can carry 10 corvettes (and others) plus 50 fighters. But I'm not sure, as I haven't tried the Valhalla yet. Could someone confirm this info? Smile

Yes it does. But vanilla Valhalla is bugged so i recommand you Cadius XTRA Shippack.

XeNoN, talking about mods, have you tried the XRM? if not, why?

If you tried XRM, tell me about it, did you like this mod? Smile

Yea ive tried it, i liked it mainly because of new weapons and overall balance but downside for me was that battle's lasted too long, so ive created/copied some weapons from XRM for personal use, anyway also ive created a mod that ennhances all races (higher shield rates, weapon damage slightly increased and few my custom ships) but i sailed from the topic xD, anyway if you like balance and nice tweaks, some new ships i recommand it! Its worth dl'ing.

Thanks Smile
I'll consider that XRM but not before some more vanilla first, and I really hope the AP 3.0 Update will be enough and not needing mods. Bash the wall
