lolz gauss aren't for rancors. they are for lonbows. i will just load 2 longbows with plas torps n have 4 cargo rancrs. sure i might get less res but then i just kicked ur bases ****.

Why aren't polarons for longbows? if they can't dodge gauss they sure aren't going to dodge polarons

with 4 gauss and 4 polaron, 1 rancor with torps tore 90% of my base apart. the last rancor only had 1 gauss and the polaron on my outpost to deal with

here's my base, need to know what needs to change

Longbows with torps outrange polarons

I done some minor testing and found hitting an anti matter storage in fact gives you a cut of reso and a cut of antimatter. I tested this. So scarficing antimatter storages will still get you robbed of reso.

Not sure how much help this is, I am only lvl 16... As you can see from this venn diagram of doom I put my long range lvl2 gauss cannons on the perimeter and the short range lazers in the middle... Ultimately plasma torps and heavy polaron beam is probably the best combo as plasma torps are slow, but have good range (against longbows and broadswords) Whereas Polaron beams are superfast but only moderate range (against rancors, venom and Exodus cruisers...) Good Luck...\m/

Just select one of the defense platforms like your moving it and then take a screen shot...

@Franz:

Sadly, Rancors with Railguns would decimate this quickly. They only have to stay at max range to hit lasers without being tagged back. But Gauss can be taken with a closer drive. So Rancors would just sail circles around this blowing down Gauss and eventually the lasers.

I highly recommend putting a Polaron on your outpost and getting a couple Polaron towers (especially when you have 8 towers).

Ok, your base + my rush fleet = 100% flat. Railguns are garbage cause they can be outran easily. Polaron beams are no good because they have low damage. My base setup is 4 of the first base lasers at lvl 5 with 4 plasma charger 3's. I'm a lvl 28 and so far, haven't been flattened yet. In my opinion, you need to change out your turrets for some higher dps stuff. I'm going with this setup until I get the highest lvl base weapons unlocked. also, upgrading your turrets high enough to were you can put shields on them really helps.

if you have not been flattened yet what sector are you in? A carebear sector?

See that big space in the middle of your ven diagram.  That is where people will park their ships.  They may lose one or two, but you turrets will shut down once they are inside.  I use that strategy on tons of mass driver/plasma torp bases at higher levels.
