Do any of you guys know of a good cure for swarms of monster drones? I'm getting manhandled by the computer and its embarrasing.
I've tried everything I could think of. Its around turn 100 of my game and a swarm of 144 bee-shaped drones showed up at a warp point, kamikazed its way through 83 satellites (losing about 8 drones), then flew across the system into my home system in a single turn. Once there they shrugged off a 60 frigate fleet (equipped with temperal combat sensors 2 and a 5% fleet bonus) losing about 65 drones. Then they leveled one my colonies along with its 300 orbital figthers losing another 8 drones. Point defense guns can't target them, standard weapons can't hit them, and fighters are outrageously vulnerable to ramming. With a combat speed of 9 the drones can move from beyond my range (or so far away they are impossible to hit) and ram in a single turn. How can I deal with them?
Very well, I'm kicking Lilkev2k5. Lilkev2k5 if you are going to play then rejoin and upload your empire, otherwise I'm opening the slot for someone else to join.
