We've added a wave counter to the post-battle summary of Survival mode, so this is the thread to brag about how far you've made it once we release the mod. Just post a screenshot of your summary and compare it to everyone else's to judge your worth as a human being! (Or just post the number without a screenshot, but then we may not believe you)

To get everyone started, here's mine as the Empire of the Hand! Try to beat it!

I may try to organize some sort of competition for this after we get any bugs worked out/I think of a decent prize/timeframe. Other than that, hope you enjoy it.

I knew you were bad at survival but I didn't realise you were that bad.

I'm quite rusty in ICW but I belive that I won't be the best, but we can hope isn't it? Just got to wave 5 with remmnant, as soon as I can I'll upload a picture of it.

Well, that puts you in first so far. Good work!

Just dethroned you, Eclipse. Six waves as Remnant, and I have some ideas about how to get further (I need a more balanced, frigate-focused fleet - the rebels didn't beat me, they just ran right past. You've GOT to engage them before they get to your space station and take them out in small groups)

Well like a year ago, I can say that I've upgraded my computer, but I still have to reinstall the game, hopefully I'll be able to at least reach wave six hahaha, took me a long while but I hope to be back in the forums

Got to wave 9, lost on 10 as new repubolic

I'll post a screenshot when I figure out how to do so

Revan0123 · « **Reply #8 on:** October 01, 2016, 10:32:54 AM »

Only got to Wave 8

PhoenixC279 · « **Reply #9 on:** May 17, 2017, 02:45:24 AM »

My advice: Nebula star destroyers. I eventually lost to fighters haha.

DarthRevansRevenge · « **Reply #10 on:** May 17, 2017, 11:05:38 AM »

so use a mix of Nebula and Endurance? or Nebula with Nebulons, CR90s, and Quasers? or the new Dauntless

Revanchist · « **Reply #11 on:** May 17, 2017, 11:10:55 AM »

Don't want to use a ton of Endurances because they're so expensive population point-wise.

DarthRevansRevenge · « **Reply #12 on:** May 17, 2017, 11:19:56 AM »

i was think 1-2 at a time

PhoenixC279 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 17, 2017, 11:43:46 AM »

Endurance is practically useless in 2.1 though. since they give 2 E-wings and 2 K-wings for 7 supply and are practically useless in combat.

New Republic
Nebula Destroyers and whatever anti fighter ships you find preferable.

Imperial Remnant
My most successful strategy so far;
3 ISD-IIs, 2 Tectors, 6 Venators and whatever you feel like that takes 2 population. The Venator fighter cloud takes care of any enemy fighters while the destroyers kill any capital ships.

Empire of the Hand
Not yet tested

Imperial Remnant
Haven't worked out a strategy

Empire of the Hand
Same as the Imperial Remnant

Endurances may only give out 2 E and 2 K wings at a time, but carry a total of 6 E and 5 K.

PhoenixC279 · « **Reply #15 on:** May 17, 2017, 02:00:06 PM »

Yes, But they are not worth the population cost of 1,75 per squadron.

GreyStar · « **Reply #16 on:** May 17, 2017, 02:45:10 PM »

Correction. That's 1.75 squadron per population point, not the other way around. (6+5)/7 squadrons/population points.

PhoenixC279 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 17, 2017, 02:59:47 PM »

No, because I am talking about EFFECTIVE squadron count, which is 4. Every other carrier releases its population value or more in squadrons at a time, while the endurance does not.

GreyStar · « **Reply #18 on:** May 17, 2017, 03:59:16 PM »

Mind you we're talking about E-Wings and K-Wings here, not TIEs and Xs and Ys. Hence the slow release.

PhoenixC279 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 18, 2017, 01:26:27 PM »

I know, but it's still a sad supply waste as the endurance and the nebula is the ONLY availiable source of K-wings in the game.
