https://youtu.be/YThK4r-wBz0I manage to get myself together quite the cruiser fleet and ago around trying it out on the enemy.
The ultra heavy blaster weapons are nice, but the pulse laser is truly supreme. Af for the medium mount cruisers, the scatter laser seems decent enough as I wasn't too impressed by their duel KAcc guns. In hindsight both are decent choices for the craft.
I did think about going for many more blaster weapons in the fleet, but range seemed like the solution to all.
This is when I began wanting more torpedo bombers in my fleet, as the mass of fighters and gunships wasn't cutting it any more. So I decided to replace the gunships with more torpedo bombers, giving the fleet more long ranged anti-cruiser weapons that we would need for the larger battles. All of the SCY nations fighters and interceptors seemed cool. The basic one was alright with it's mini-guns, the mid level one with it's duel lances could help finish most frigates and destroyers and the large one with the rockets and mini blaster cannons could easily be called a strike fighter. The torpedo bomber was... basic and while some more variety would have been nice it certainly did the work I bought them for.
More coming up!
