Default Re: Tan Ru Diplomacy

The Tan Ru are best met with a warm PVC...

When you're fighting the Tan Ru, here are a few hints from my own experience.

- When meeting a Tan Ru flotilla, you can always get into the fight screen, analyse the situation, and then you can opt out; they don't attack very fast. Just hover your mouse over the big ships. If they're Demolishers, you're OK. If they're Decimators, retreat fast!!! The Decimators carry Particle Vortex Cannons. They're damn deadly.

- Tan Ru drones are fragile, but in large number they can be deadly because of the cumulatef firepower and mobility.

- When fighting the large flotilla (with a LOT of small fighters), the key is BEAM weapons. Lots of them. Better if you have 2-3 ships in your own flotilla. Let your beams clean up the mosquitos, then advance toward the big ships and finish them. Don't get too close though, they're equipped with Micrometeorite Guns.
