Xkill -> Designs of outposts for long wars (6/22/2010 1:37:44 AM)
|
Manny players of DW may have various wars, (I've been "Spying" some AARs) and i have some designs that i've done on my last game the "Polaron Union" with a "mod" by changing the Naxxilian Race and giving them "Special Powers" (Also i've tested them with the original game too) but anyways let's go to the point:
1: Get atleast good research levels in ALL the major areas to build outposts.
2: When making your outpost give it the following:
2a: 6 Weapons (3 Lasers and 3 Torpedos).
2b: Atleast 3 Construction Shipyards (And obviously the same number of "Plants" for construction of ships).
2c: Put in all the latest Sensors exept the "Resource Profile Sensor (Optional)" and complete all of the requirements.
2d: Resource extractors are very welcome (Expecially Gas Extractors).
3: Put REALLY much "Fuel Cells" in the design.
4: (Optional) Put "Labs" in the potpost if you don't have an advanced Research Tree.
5: Keep a look at the size of the Outpost or your constructors may not be able to build it...
6: Shields and Armor components are vital if you intend to build the Outpost in a system full of monsters (Debris Fields for example).
7: Try not to put the base out of range of the other ships.
8: (As far as i know) if you have much plants in the starbase, the ships constructed there are built more faster.
9: In the construction process try to put some powerfull ships to escort the Construction Ship. Believe me these stations will pay all the time spent!
10: If you have low income you may not build these because they consume a relatively high level of money but if you are desperate, i recomend you build one of these near you home system.
As stated before these Outposts consume lots of money, and if you build more than 4 or 5 earning 100.000 "CR" you will nearly get in the red.
The "Star Spacedock" Outpost (Apparently made by me) have more than 12 Weapons, 31.000 of Cargo Space, 4 or 8 Docking Bays, 6 or 14 Construction Shipyards, 6 or 16 Plants, all 3 latest Sensors available in the game, and my most advanced Capital Ship "Zentabia Mk5" are built in less than 3 months! (The Zentabia Mk5 may cost 14.000 or 18.000 "CR", And the outpost may cost more than 28.000 "CR") but it was worth the cost expecially in the Polaron-Gandulu War.
I thinkg i will make an AAR shortly focusing in these stations, but first i will have to know how to put images here...
