Nube about shadow´s

[Tiramis]

We have recently started to play Bab5 acta at the locale store and I chose to try out the shadow fleet, now I´m hoping that some of you more experienced players can help with a bit, as I always seem to get totaly hammered by the other players, my maine problems is that I can do nothing about there fighters, the fly em into my back/side arches and there they stay for the rest of the game (more or less), now I ask you, is there anything that can be done about this, or is all hope lost?

nothing u can really do against fighters except hope your shields absorb most of the damage. You can sacrifice some firepower by using your scouts to fighter cleanse its a hard trade off.

My tactics when fighting a fighter swarm revolves around the use of the long range weapons on Shadow Ships, and the short anti-fighter guns on the little ships.

Basically I line up my ships with the scouts following my shadow ship, keeping them about 6 inchs behind. This covers almost the entire ship. I then line up my other scouts to create overlapping fields of fire. My opponent then has the choice of running fighters in (which should only be able to get to my front ship, not the scouts), or losing a turn of firing.

keep your ships in hyperspace make him move first jump in behind him and hand him a butt kicking,

tie him up by firing your fighters at his ships 30"

 

[Da Boss]

keep your ships in hyperspace make him move first jump in behind him and hand him a butt kicking,"

if the scenario allows

tie him up by firing your fighters at his ships 30"

unless you want to fire you gun instead

 

[Sulfurdown]

tie him up by firing your fighters at his ships 30"

unless you want to fire you gun instead

Or if he has anything like energy mine weapons or other secondaries that can destroy the fighters after they're launched before they can act.
