So I'm having difficulties. Not with the installation or anything, but with the gameplay. No matter what faction I choose, or what strategy I try, I always lose. I haven't managed to win a single skirmish game, even against an easy AI.
Does anyone have any tips? What am I doing wrong? Every enemy I face seems to be able to send wave after wave of top tier ships at me within minutes, while I have difficulties building a few frigates.
My very first game was empire v federation over coruscant. I built three acclamators to fend off any attacks while upgrading, and managed to build the two hero unit star destroyers (thrawn and the other guy). at that point, I'm assailed by endless wave after wave of federation vessels. They literally never stop coming. Somehow the other AI has managed to fully upgrade their base, claim all the mining asteroids, and amassed an enormous fleet in the span of 4 minutes. I checked the after game report, and I literally elliminated at least 30 ships, lost only 4, and still lost because I couldn't kill them fast enough. Is my enemy AI supposed to have unlimited money? I tried again, this time building huge amounts of smaller ships, but still ended up fighting double the number of equivalent vessels from the other side.
I've tried to send fighters immediately to mining asteroids, but by the time I get there they are already built up and claimed by the other side. The other side also seems to be able to upgrade their base twice as fast as I'm able to. Is this a design feature? I feel like its impossible to win. Its kind of frustrating. I get that this is supposed to be faster paced, but I feel like even easy AI has a ridiculously unfair advantage.
I click on upgrade base the second the game starts, and before its done the other base is upgraded and halfway to a second upgrade.
Would someone mind giving me a few tips? I feel like I must be missing something important.
