Default Re: When to attack

An early attack is good only if the enemy doesn't have mines. Frying a homeworld with a single planety napalm ship is very cost effective. Early attacks are waste of time if the enemy has already built some defences.

A middle game attack is more difficult. You have to have mine sweepers so if you fail more is lost than in an early attack.

The right time to attack is different in every game. If you have the most powerful ships then any time is good. If you think that you will lose a ship to ship combat, attack when the enemy ships are away from their planets. The best advice that I can give is to attack when enemy has pants down and run away really fast.
