How to defend from Broadsword?
Hello, I'm lvl 21 - I was attacked by a Broadsword and Exodus Cruiser mix. How do i fend off such an attack next time? Turret positions, types of turrets etc
I don't know what weapons or shields they are using.

Priority targets from BS are usually close range weapons such as the plasma charger, the Heavy Beam Laser, and any weapon short of 7500M (Maximum in game range, achieved with Mass Drivers). Having Several Plasma Torpedoes or Gauss Guns (Mass Drivers if you have them) just on the premiter of the Bridge, so if they try to snipe at range mutiple shots will be flying. If you do have Plasma torps try to get them at least lvl 2 so you will have burst fire and knock out several with one well placed burst. For Shields use deflectors on the turrets that have no minimum range and Shockwave for the resources (Assuming you have gotten that far). Another defensive option is to strike back, as if they have BS at lvl 26 odds are the base isn't the best. For the Crusers Any charger or Heavy Laser Beam is fine, just make their maximum range shorter than the Maximum of the defenses, as they will try to bait the Plasma Torps and if they mess up it will hit the destroyers or damage the baiting crusersHope this Helps.Vega Beta TesterWar Commander Beta TesterBattlepirates Beta TesterBackyard Monsters Beta TesterWorld of Tanks Mahou/Senpai MemeberWorld of Warships Beta TesterTouhou Lunatic Player0

DeKillingMachineMinor NuisanceJoined Dec 2012 Posts: 259I suggest you to make a combination of heavy beam laser ( at least 2), plasma batt( combined with the beams they're a good counter against blitzers), and heavy gauss gun or if ou have or when You get plasma torps, they can outrange the broads and in the casre of the torps ( torp 1) can wipe out the shields, many times with only one shot.

I only just got Plasma Charger I and started putting Iridium I armor on combat modules.0

Krazie243Unicorn OverlordJoined May 2010 Posts: 10,669You only just got PCs and you're being hit by BSDs? Ouch...Well fit some Gauss to keep the BSDs moving and PCs to keep them at range. Most blitz ships at the Exo level have Spec shields so PCs will destroy them pretty nicely. I would only put a Laser on the Bridge, nowhere else.Try as hard as you can to get to Torps, they are INFINITELY useful against BSDs. They will detonate before their max range so even if a BSD moves it will still take damage from the AoE if it doesn't move far enough. Combine Torps and PCs and most people will have a lot of problems breaking you.I don't play much anymore =(0
