Default Re: Tan Ru Diplomacy

I favor leaving them as is - unless you're doing an all Tan Ru mod, which could be cool.

Fighting them - it helps IMMENSELY to have a fast fighter be the front of your flotilla. (f-god's sake!) Put it out front a bunch - then pull it back for the drone extermination - but when you bring it front, the main ships will still be targeting it!

This fixed targeting is one of the main flaws of WW aliens.

Run the fighter around the big ships, staying out of weapon range. Try to get the 'non PVC' side pointing towards your ships. Then you have more time to nail them.

Gotta have good range to take out the Reds, tho - or a secret toy surprise in the shape of a Garthan...
