Re: [Audyssey] STFC tactics was STFC Podcast
Memo to self, this is the 24th century, not the 23rd, romulans are clever, clever people! (bangs head on tactical station and accidently fires anti-matter spread at planet earth, obliterating the entirety of north England). Seriously thanks thom, I really should've thought of that. beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] STFC tactics was STFC Podcast
I almost beat the game earlier today with that strategy. I took out the six ships that seem to openly attack Federation space, then took the Defiant into the enemy teritories, only decloaking when I got the red alert siren warning me of enemy ships. I'd probably have done it, too, but I had to go to class. It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you with no place to go. J.D.

Re: [Audyssey] STFC tactics was STFC Podcast
Hi Karl, That is of course one approach to defeating the enemy, but a more interesting tactic is to take out say the Romulans and Klingons first. That means leaving the security of the starbases, blowing away s many Klingons or Romulans as possible, and beat a retreat back to the stations. One reason I go for the enemy cloak ships and destroy them early on is the Cardassians you know where they are at all times. The Klingons can surprise you and one way of eleminating the surprise is destroying them as quickly as possible.

Re: [Audyssey] STFC tactics was STFC Podcast
Hi Dark, In some cases it is possible to approach an enemy starship and get the first shot in. There is a trick to it, and I will leave you with this hint. Enemies fire before moving. The trick is to time your move in such a way that they will warp into your weapons range, but won't be able to fire. There is only one way to do this. Hint number 2, remember Defiant can cloak and can approach enemy ships and stations with impunity, and never be fired upon first while cloaked. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] STFC tactics was STFC Podcast
Hmmm, obviously i need to change my thinking here, particularly to use the defiant most effectively "Go, to, ramming speed!" ;D. Seriously, I was wondering (both in trek 2000 and now in Stfc), if there is a way of attacking something before it attacks you, even if the enimy isn't cloaked and you spot them first, moving towards them just results in getting your ship damaged, hence the need for lots of back-up (especially when multiple enemy ships are involved). Please excuse me if this is a stupid question, but it's been the one fact about Trek 2000 and Stfc that has slightly marred my otherwise great enjoyment of the game, so any advise on this point would be good.

Re: [Audyssey] STFC tactics was STFC Podcast
My tactic is almost the same. On easy at least I have never tried any higher. I have destroyed a load of ships, let them come. Then sent 2 ships to each space if there is that many left, at one stage I didn't keep up with restock and mannaged to justhave 3 ships, and so I sent 2 to somewhere had defient destroy the cardations and then send it and the other ship I had left the other way. What usually happens is I have to sacrofise at least 2 ships to destroy klingons and romulans. The romulan and klingon maybe other enemy ai is a bit dumb. They attack one ship, and another ship attacks the same ship, leaving the other able to destroy the enemy. The issue with this is they do not always go for the bate I set if I take defient. If they do I hit them with defient although I prefur not to use defient so much as I have limited torps. Its phasers are really powerfull as long as you don't have to deal with more than 2 ships at once and as long as you can cause serious dammage on the first hit.

Re: [Audyssey] STFC tactics was STFC Podcast
Hi, I've found one tactic to be fairly successful, at least on easy. Initially, I group my ships around the star bases, and destroy the attackers. Then, I send all my ships into enemy space and take out the nations one at a time.

[Audyssey] STFC tactics was STFC Podcast
Hi Dark, Quote the only way I've ever won with trek 2000 is by grouping all my ships in a big clump, and hoping to wether what the badguys throw at me and use the multiple ships to dish out lots of damage, but obviously, there are situations where this doesn't work. End quote In Trek 2000 that was a possible tactic, but actually not the most effective in STFC. In STFC the enemies are in two forces. Those which remain in there own space and those that openly attack Federation space. Clustering your forces together simpely won't work in STFC. ___ Gamers mailing list ..
