General Tec Strategy/ fleet makeup

from Sins Forums

I am just trying to learn and have a basic set up for fleets. So what should my general fleet makeup be? What should i be gunning for? what % of each should i have? like which capitals or cruisers to get with which light fleets and medium fleets. and what % of each to usually have. I know i need to adapt to the situation but i kinda want to have a general idea of what i have to make and while i play, i can learn and adapt as it goes on.

Depends on what you're fighting. You have to learn the counter system, there is no one ship that is always good in every situation.

That said, as the TEC you have particularly strong LRFs and the best repair cruiser. Generally I use corvettes for early expansion, LRFs, flak and repair cruisers mid game, and most people tend to go to carriers late game.

what are LRF? and which repair cruiser? can you give me the names of all the ships your talking about. Sorry for the noobness, i only played like 4 times so far. Also what % of what do you usually like to get? Like what ratios? more of the cheap stuff i am guessing.

Again it depends entirely on the game and what you are fighting. If my opponent has a lot of Long Range Frigates (LRF) I build more corvettes. If he has flak I build Light Frigates (LF). If it's a mixed fleet it just goes on personal preference that you'll get from playing the game.

It seems nowadays if you are TEC or Advent, it is preferable to only use two units in the early game: Light Frigates (Cobalts) and corvettes. This is because it is cheap and counters everything well. Usually these are build in 50/50 ratio at the start, then changes to counter what your opponent has. The goal is to overwhelm your opponent in low tech stuff quickly. This kind of fleet is good against a human player but bad against AI.
