Title: Late game fighter spam
Post by: Corusca Fire on March 20, 2016, 03:28:27 AM

Has anyone else noticed that the GC AI (for both IR and EotH) likes to spam fighters near the end of the game (era 5+)? The typical IR fleet I'm facing now is essentially 1x Praetor-II, 50x Howlrunner, and 50x Preybird. Its pretty easy to counter (I just spam corona frigates - 2x E-wing and 1x defender for 2 pop), but it certainly makes the end of the game not much fun.

What difficulty are you playing on? Because this usually happens to me only on admiral difficulty. And if you want to make it fun, meet their Fighter spam with your own fighter spam. Use Endurance carriers and your own buildable Fighters and engage in Fighter wars. It is highly enjoyable as long as you dont frontal engage preybirds with your own Fighters.

At least its not TIE Defenders right ?
