Most of my most fun battles always seem to happen when I'm playing the Eoth and fighting the NR for control of Coruscant. One I fought just a few minutes ago was particularly satisfying. Playing 2.1 with the Balance and Flavor sub mod as well as more imperialised Empire of the Hand, the NR launched an assault with what had to have been their entire navy.

Fleet compositions were something like this.

EotH
Fleet Commander: Thrawn Clone

6x Ascendancy class Star destroyers
3x Chaf class heavy cruisers
12x Clawcraft Squadrons
3x Asdroni Corvettes
3x Vigilance Gunships
3x Bu'direch class heavy cruisers
1x Modified Victory II class star destroyer
1x Modified Sovereign class Dreadnaught
1x Massias Class Interdictor
1x Au'ritte class light carrier. (Is that meant to be pronounced like alright? because if it is that's funny.)
1x Modified Imperial I Star Destroyer
2x Visvia Orbital Weapons platforms
2x Brask Defense Stations



NR
Fleet Commanders: Booster Terrik, Coran Horn, Gial Ackbar

6x Mc90 class cruisers
7x Endurance class fleet carriers
48x Sacheen class corvettes
21X Corana class frigates
12x Bothan Assualt Cruisers
2x Mc80b class cruisers
7x Nebula Class Star Defenders
52x X-wing squadrons
48x E-wing squadrons
13x B-wing squadrons
4x Mc40a Light Cruisers

The end result was a total loss for the NR every single ship destroyed.

My losses were.
12x Clawcraft squadrons
1x Chaf
1x Au'ritte
1x Massias
2x Asendancys
1x ISD
1x Vigilence

Over all i think it was a pretty fair trade.

Hah, my kind of trade. Nicely done, Roach. Let me guess- Golans, wall of capitals between them, and an interspersion of corvettes and frigates between those? That's my preferred strategy if I have the star destroyers for it. The AI won't centralise enough firepower to break through it in a lot of cases; I have watched fleets five times my size get ground into dust against those quadanium dragon's teeth.

Sent a Praetor II and 3 Acclamators against a light shipyard. The only other thing there was a shuttle filled with stormtroopers.

I was low on units at this point, without interdictors and wanted every unit I faced gone. Thus, when the shuttle swung past, I directed an Acclamator to destroy it.

The frigate's salvos all missed. The shuttle zoomed out of range, and I know that only ties could hit it. Thus, out went a squadron... just as a garrison squadron zeroed in- I had only a few seconds to hit it. My fighters began firing...

Then the shuttle suddenly turned, performing a tight turn that my ties zoomed past. My fighters then performed a wide arc round to perform another attack run, as I clenched my teeth in frustration. That allowed the garrison squadron to swoop in and hit my ties.

While they were occupied, the shuttle jumped out-system.
