Am I the only one that just sneaks in a colony and uses a Star Fortress?

That is a brilliant way to get tons of cash right at the start of a game. Eventually though expeditions will end up killing the nexus and for me that's not ideal. I like to farm them ordo fleets. If I can find two high danger systems in a playthrough I'd consider doing this then.

Taking on 6 Ordo fleets with 5 Paragons... And a bunch of dead weight.

Deployment aduse using all ship slots with paragon). Can not take more 3 ordos in one battle in vanilla, just 3 are engaging in one fight, how i can fight 6 at once?

[Sinigr]

I'll build a fleet that can take on 3 or 4 ordos at once, but I'm not gonna drop the total battle size below 500. I don't like wasting more time to achieve the same end.

Also carrying 10 deadweight paragons isn't that expensive especially if you're hunting ordo fleets. I carry dead weight paragons when I hunt ordos and when I'm done I'm full on 10k fuel and over 5k supplies.

Fight with field 500! Without dead paragons!

[DrPhat]

So the goal is to take on as many Ordo with the least total fleet deployment points possible. Ok.

Good ol Drover spam takes on 3 ordo in less time with no retreats and only 200 DP used.

I could possibly take on 5 or 6 ordo fleets with this setup if I retreat to reset the peak performance timer. That is a little cheaty in my opinion though.

It was at the point where you overloaded directly in front of a Radiant with no consequence that I realized you might be on to something.

Shhhhhh you didn't see that, I actually used damper field instead of shooting again. Cough.

Use phase beam harbinger to eliminate remnant ships. AI is helpless vs shield overload mechanic.

We can do better. Use 1 doomship to throw mines behind ships for them to redirect their shields, then beam/torpedo them. Use same mines to blow fighters behind the ship that spawns them, and do damage to said ships. You can take out the entire ordo with just 1 doomship, if you have character skills, manage rockets well and paying attention to enemy loadout. Oh yeah, and you can throw 1 mine right into radiant, if it teleports to you and if you are in phase.

Hold on. You mean that you enter a hazard system, build a colony on a planet, and beeline directly to building starbases inside the sector? That's a very Vasari thing to do.

ORKULUS!
