[Audyssey] Final Conflict Strategies
I just downloaded and have begun playing with Star Trek: Final Conflict. I don't know why, but I'm not always very good at these particular strategy games. I have a specific strategy in mind, but can't for the life of me figure how to pul it off. Here's what it is: My ships will fly in a rough v-formation. Two sovereign-class ships will the the points, two will fly close together in the middle, and the Defiant will be cloaked in the back for surprise maneuvers. This seems to be a good idea because it would let me box in opponents, keep my ships together and have decent maneuverability. But ... how would I do something like this? Kelby Oh Adam's sons, how cleverly you defend yourself from all that might do you good. --Aslan the Lion --- Get FREE High Speed Internet from USFamily.Net! -- http://www.usfamily.net/mkt-freepromo.html --- --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Final Conflict Strategies
Hi Kelby, Good question. That particular formation would be fairly tricky to set up, but can be done with a lot of practice. What I would do is send all of my ships to a staging area, a place to assemble the fleet, start two ships out, wait a move, send the second two ships out, wait a move, and then trail the fleet with the Defiant. Now, if you want to create a v type for mation you'll have to give the ships different headings for a couple of moves until they spreed out. For example if you want a wide v formating and you were heading towards Cardassian Space set one side of the formation to a heading of 325 and the other to 45. After a move or so you would get a v style formation, and then you can set all ships to 0 so that they then head straight up the starmap.

Re: [Audyssey] Final Conflict Strategies
Thanks a bunch, Tom. I had part of that worked out, but it was setting the ship's on the right course that tripped me up. I have a couple more questions. 1. Is there a way to tell the exact coordinates of a ship? This would help me immensely to try and get everything into formation. 2. Will the v-formation I'm describing work well for shooting down the enemy?

Re: [Audyssey] Final Conflict Strategies
Hi Kelby, Kelby Said: 1. Is there a way to tell the exact coordinates of a ship? This would help me immensely to try and get everything into formation. Tom Says: There is no way to get the exact coordinates of the ship. However, you can use the short range sensors to figure out what ship is where in your formation. This is how I find out if my ships are in a formation and how close or far away each ship is from the rear or leading attack elements. Kelby Said: 2. Will the v-formation I'm describing work well for shooting down the enemy? Tom Says: Hard to say. There are a lot of random elements in STFC such as enemy formation, what style of attack the enemy will choose, whatever. In one game that formation you described will work well. In antoerh game that same strategy or technique will fail miserably. You will never know what trick or tricks the enemy has up their sleaves. Here is a case in point. One time I gathered all my ships at Earth Station McKinley. Then, I launched them into Klingon space. The Klingons ameet me head on and and blasted all five Klingon ships into dust and lost no ships in the encounter. I thought I was doing pretty good, patted myself on the back for a job well done, and thought i could head back tot he station for resupplies. No such luck. The Romulans sprang an attack from my rear and blew away two ships before I knew they were there. I was low on firepower so I was basically throwing what i could at them to try and escape. No Such luck. They were fresh, my ships were not, and I lost everything except the Defiant in that Romulan attack. It then became a very difficult challenge using the Defiant to perform hit and run attacks to even the score. I took several enemies with me before i was finally over run. The moral of the story is I started out with a grand strategy. It was working well until the Romulans pulled a fast one on me. I hadn't expected an all out attack on my rear flank. I figured based on passed experience, and having written the enemy AI, that the Romulans would try and take out the stations while they were undeffended. I wasn't expecting the AI to come up with such a briliant counter strategy. It does that some times and it amazes even me.Rule of thumb watch out for the unexpected to happen from time to time.
