all stop and pivot question

[Garibaldi]

Hello all,

This may have been answered earlier...if it was...sorry!

OK...we all know the rules for all stop and pivot, yes? Here is my question...can one use it round after round after round and just pivot back and forth as needed??

Once you've all stopped and pivoted, yes.

Darn...i was afraid of that...getting ready for a campaign and one player is going to be vorlon...he can just have a big turret gun...sigh.....

That is a great strategy to use when playing vorlon, however everything has its counter. For instance, if he does this turn after turn his is not moving so that allows you to get in close with many short range weapons.

vorlons like to stay huddled together to vary up their arcs, so energy mines could be good or try to lure one out of the herd with bait.

Another good thing to do against pivoting turrets is draw a boresight on them. Especially if you have a ship, that due to sinking, won't be likely to be able to target anything else. Basically you just put the heat on them.

and for those of us who use them - AS&P ships make good mass driver targets

great for sending a bat squad onboard as well... ok, this doesn't work on ancients, but anyone else is usually toast

As the Vorlon player in question, I can honestly say that I much prefer the "conga line of death" as my opponents have come to call it. Not really an intentional formation, but somehow all my Transports wind up that way.

I know...boy do I know...damm "conga line" (grumble, grumble)

conga line eh? usually I go for the huddle but also have found the line works well too. Transports up front with destroyers in the back? Keep those fighters close until needed, then spring them on some daring ship that thinks its smart going behind me.

Whenever I rush my fighters they die, but when used close to my Capital ships they usually live long healthy lives because focus is on the bigger ships.

Sorry, not that I am helping the vorlon player but it is nice to see some of the same strategies being used. Vorlons, hard to use but when done correctly, are deadly.
