    Antaran ships does not have any armor because of damper shields. Missiles can do a better job if there is plenty of them. You need the missile armor. Once the missiles get past PD, Antaran ships are sitting ducks. Takes only a few seconds to rip the whole armada apart.

        Yes, two or three heavy missiles (18K damage for example) can punch through the damper field. The missile shields and armor really help against PDs :-)

          Here's the problem I had when assaulting Orion, I destroyed all the of Antaran system ships, and assumed that the StarShips were elsewhere attacking the reletively stronger empires (I was 5th in standing and the Antarans were at war with everyone.) Well out of the blue, 50 new ships arrive, show up, are commissioned, whatever and wipe me out. I retreat my surviving ships (12 out of 220, consisting of several behemoths, titan carriers, and my fleet of Dreadnaught IF, LR, and SR ships, with Cruiser Recons and Battleship point defence) and now whenever I make an attack, whether it be against a planet or "blockading" a planet, I have to face this new starship fleet (which won't lure out to any of my fortress worlds) and whatever Antaran system ships are in system at the time. Any suggestions?

            I assume the Orions had those ships in their Reserves and just built a fleet. The same thing a human Player would do if faced with an Invasion in his Home System

            So there´s nothing you can do than rebuild your Starships very quickly and face the new Threadt (or maybe assemble the Fleet again in combination with a lot of Troop Transports to invade the Orion-Homesystem).

              Try polivalence

              Polivalent ships work great, try put beams LR and SR, PD missiles, PD weapons, a a single great devil missile that deliver a lot of damage. The PD will go with the the Heavy missile, the enemy will don't know who is the great one, when the PD bug is fixed try light missile with Heavy or torpedo one, i remenver to have a Behemoth with disntegrator beams LR, plamas cannons SR, LFGenerator and Ion cannon as PD, Rack size 5 number two best pd missile that i had and rack size 2 number one best great damage missile i had, works great but i had a great mistake, i don't used fighters,hte antaran fighters cause me great pain
