I've seen many people asking how to do certain things and asking whats the best way to win a GC. WELL! Here's you 1-Stop-Shop to winning a GC and a few bonus Tricks and Hints, too!
Economy
Economy is one of the most important things in any and ALL GCs. The best thing to do to when you want to "up" your income is by building Tax Collection Agencies/Mining Facilities (3 Max) in your Backwater planets (Planets that aren't near the Front Lines).
With the addition and Introduction of the new Trade Stations in 2.2, if used wisely and Strategically, Trade Stations could be your Saving Grace in times of income upgrades. Like before, it's best to put Trade Stations on your Backwater Planets.
In order to save as much credits as possible, its really a useful thing to buy Companies to lower cost of Ships and Ground Units. Its also Good to use Units that give the "Lower Unit Cost" trait. PATIENCE IS KEY WHEN WAITING TO GET PAID.
Ground Units (Decreased Build Time and Strategic Game Play)
Ground Units are your Loyal Army Members and Vehicle Battalions. If your tired of waiting for those units to finish building, then here is a Great and IMPORTANT Trick! In order to Decrease Build Time, I suggest building Multiple of the Same Buildings on your Near-The-Front-Lines Planets. When you build more of the same building, the System that is Hard-Coded into the Base FOC and EAW decreases build time automatically by 5% each building. Example: 2 Barracks = 10% Production Boost, 5 Light Factories = 25% Production Boost. This is a Critical Trick for when you want build your extra heavy vehicles (I.E. AT-ATs, Juggernauts, etc.)
Game-Play
When using Stormtrooper and any other Infantry Groups, its best to use the "Take Cover" Ability before they enter battle. This will decrease damage to each group by 10%. When using Vehicles, If you're going against Infantry, it is better to Run-Over the Infantry than fight them (Note: Not ALL Vehicles can run over Infantry, Heavy Walkers like AT-STs can crush Infantry by walking over them, AT-ATs can Crush Infantry AND Light Vehicles.) When using Tanks, it is also better to run over Infantry (Note: Only Tanks with Tracks can run over Infantry, NO Repulsorlift Tanks can Crush Infantry.) When going against BOTH Infantry and Vehicles, it is best to use your Unit Abilities to stand against the Huge Numbers that the Enemy has. It is also good to use your Commando Units as Stealthy as possible, that way you can sneak behind enemy lines and Wreak Havoc on the enemy base!
Space Battles
When entering a Space Battle, its best to put Capital Ships, Support Ships, and Fighters into different Groups. to do this, you press Alt then you press any Number you want on your Num-Pad or Number Row. When going against Small Fleets, it is better to send in your Fleet after them. In the Event of a Small Fleet vs. Small Fleet, It is best to steer your ships near your Defense Stations (Any Golan Structures or Battle Stations) or if your attacking, Send in your fighters first to soften up the fleet. When going up against Medium Fleets, its best to stay near your Golans/Battle Stations (At Least within Firing Range) When attacking Medium Fleets, its better to send Bombers and Support Ships in First to Soak up the Damage a little until your Capital Ships get in Range to finish off the Fleet. When going up against Large Fleets, It is VERY IMPORTANT that you send in a Scout Ship First. When the Fog of War Clears up, then you can Hyperspace in the Units that are best to use in the Fight. When Defending against Large Fleets, you must also use your HV-Gun/Ion Cannon blasts to your BEST ADVANTAGE, shoot the most Dangerous Ships. If you dont have HV-Guns or Ion Cannon Blasts, then sneak behind your Defense Stations (Golans, Battle Stations). If you have Neither, its best to retreat and attack the same fleet, but with a larger force than before!
Random Tricks
Here's the Scenario, you're in an awesome fight and you want to Screenshot the Battle in a Cool Cinematic Way. Press the Space Bar to enter Cinematic Mode.
Still can't get the Perfect Angle? Select a Random Unit and Press "C" On your Keyboard and Scroll in to Zoom in and Scroll Down to Zoom out.
When Doing Bombing Runs/Orbital Bombardments, Its good to use them against large groups of Enemy Units or Destroy the Enemy Base in order to save you the Hassle of losing too many units.
