Advice for a noob?

Sadly you dont get to keep captured ships (too different techwise)

Normally, no. We've been playing it that when you capture a ship it gets sent to your homeworld for 2 turns and then you can buy it into your fleet(at its regular cost).

Thus the mighty Drazi fleet now fields a Space Liner that they captured in a convoy raid! :twisted:

There's a thought, if I recall my history lessons correctly why don't you finance the ship to your enemy if he's low on RP

Target the motherships and crusiers first, before they drop their ships.

:twisted: they're also expensive to replace :twisted:

:twisted: Munchkiny gamers beware :twisted: :lol: :twisted:

Id actually strongly advise AGAINST doing so unless your sure you have enough firepower to waste said ship in a couple of turns firing.

Generally speaking if the drakh palyer launches as fast as he can you will simply not be able to take out the ship before it can empty its hangars and all the time your trying his raiders are getting free reign to blow holes in your fleet....

Gaim can barely scratch the larger ships anyway. GEG's will reduce the damage they take by 2-3 points, and most of my attacks were 2-4 AD e-mines (NO CRITS). Of course the raiders tend to be nicely clustered when they are launched, so it's not all bad

I have the old fleet box with 2 Victory Destroyers and 10 White Stars and will soon be getting the rest of the ships I might want, but need advice on what to get beyond what I want to add (1 Liandra, 1 Nolo'Tar, 1 WS Carrier, 2 WS Gunships, 6 Blue Stars, 10 WS Fighters, 4 more Nials, and more STarfuries). What more do I want?

You may want to add a Sharlin Warcruiser (the ISA get access to one as a command ship). The Tara'Lin. Then you have one of everything. Also if you are planning on getting EA, then the Starfuries and Thunderbolts will be swappable between fleets (as will Minbari Nials and the Tara'Lin).

I also have the old EA Early Era fleetbox (and intend to get the current one in addition), what else should I get for my Early Era fleet? (because that's next and I want both fleets done by Christmas with 3rd Age and Crusade to follow next spring)

I cannot remember what was in the old Early EA fleet box. However look at the ship you will get in the Third Age box, most of them can be added into an Early EA fleet, and vice-versa. So if you are planning on getting a Third Age box you may want to take it contents into consideration.

I'd just like to say thankyou to everyone who gave me advice. I managed to pull of a solid victory against the Drakh losing only 3 raid ships (one to a heavy raider scoring 22 hits with it`s beam attack :shock: ) while letting only 2 Drakh vessels escape to hyperspace.

p.s. A mothership has 23 troops, not 3, but it still doesnt like three Srunnka Assault ships boarding it :twisted:

Stick it to those Drakh... 8)
