Toughest Possible Gauntlet Galaxy?

Postby Program Fatebringer on December 20th, 2008, 6:27 pm

This morning, I was playing a Gauntlet galaxy where the Oracle was on one side of me and the Redogs were on the other. So I would be getting hit by double the traffic from each of them as they attacked each other. Furthermore, there were 4 Pirate Assassins just a sector away from my base, so that I was afraid they would be attracted to my base by one of the other factions.

My solution was to spend all of my starting cash on two Assassins to intercept whatever the Oracle and Redogs threw at me. What I did not realize was that my base was sitting between the Redogs and a nice, juicy planet. Pretty much, they ran Destroyers across my base the whole game to get to that planet. Anyway, it was a pretty hairy situation, but I lucked out because the pirates never hit my base. I think I beat it with about 7 armor left, but I don’t know if there is anything worse than being stuck right between two enemies with Pirates thrown in for good measure!

My toughest Gauntlet was without a doubt the captain. I must of played it over a hundred times. My strategy was to spend as little as possible on the earlier rounds even if I did lose at which point I would start over. This enabled me to have some money left over for the latter rounds. Then one day everything aligned perfectly, the moon, stars and the planets and I finally won but it was a very tough Gauntlet.
I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are. Milton Berle

If one of the races is the Swarm, then this is not such a bad deal for the player, since it's easy money after building a couple of scavengers and stationing them on your home base.

Oracle and Redogs would complicate things a bit, but a couple of assasins combined with a scavenger might still do the trick. The big problem for me when this happens is the collateral damage done to the starbase, and resulting lack of time to get a few bombers out as well...

Try adding as many interceptors as you can to your starbase as this will help to protect your base.

Yes, this is an excellent tip, thanks!
Each interceptor is still diverting fire away from my base and they're so cheap!

For the purposes of combat then, my starbase counts as 1 ship, right?

I do normally keep a garrison on my base until my final assualt, where nearly every ship goes into my attacking stack. The bigger the stack, the less chance for my base to take damage. Also I'm trying to move out to defend against frigates and bombers.

I think that is correct, however I do know, the chances of your starbase being hit are directly proportional to the number of ships you have defending it. So if you have seven ships on your base, your base has a 1 in 7 chance of being hit or perhaps 1 in 8 where the starbase is the 8th ship.

You are both correct.
