Ship Design Advice for Crystal

[Zereth]

Wow, Stealth and Scattering armor stack? I didn't know that. Better go revise my usual ship designs then.

Click the "To Hit Modifiers" button on the design screen, and you can see the total effects of the components you are adding.

Wow thanks for all the advice. So far the ship that Douglas recommended seems to work the best in the simulators. We are fighting two major enemies with large fleets. One is religious the other is not, so I can not abandon my defensive bonus's. I have not had a chance to try it out in a real battle yet.

I have two designs - 1 with Anti-proton Beams and 1 with Shield depleters and shard cannon.

I have also used a "Shield-Ship" as my fleet leader and looking replays indicates that he tends to suckup alot of fire in the first round so I usually put one in a fleet.

Douglas is a master, after all.

Indeed. I find my first post in the Race to SEV thread (quoted below) quite ironic now, considering I am now one of the finalists, and took the fewest turns to reach that status - the one game still going is already almost 30 turns past the point where I was declared the victor. And, of course, there's that climb from last of ten to first place in the Shattered Hopes game - IIRC I was in first place even before I sent out the 30 star destroyers .

One complete noob joining in. I can thrash the AI in single-player with ease, but this will be my very first PBW game. Maybe I'll get one of the random prizes.

And modest.
