How are those 200k CO def fleets working out?  |
Could you explain a bit further? Imo the only disadvantages of going BS/CR for offense and CO/FR for defense in comparison with the CO/FR strat are:
- when fully grounding under gang rapes with huge team-ups it would be better to concentrate defense ships in two classes only. Despite the Heroes lol waves and Spore block FCs, Vikings stayed away from those situations.
- the difficulty of pling BS/CR fleets efficiently;
- BS/CR fleets being more susceptible to FCs.
But most of the round Vikings kept attacking with at least one fleet. All incs while fighting Faceless and Fang with some Heroes at the same time waves were manageable. Ingal cross def with Cat/Ter/Zik/Etd DE/CR/BS was a big advantage in comparison with the CO/FR strat. On offense BS fleets had less trouble to land than CR fleets but the overall was ok.
Spore main advantage on strat choice imo was not due its choice but due to being able keep fighting an alliance weak against it the whole round. Now in a different situation spore is leaking roids like a sinking boat.
