Fleet Building and Fleet Types

Posted by Oddballz on
EXTRAPOLATED FROM ASTRO EMPIRES COMMUNITY FORUM POSTS

This guide comes from my personal experience that i got from being around for 2 years now. With the number of unit types it’s fairly easy for a new player to get overwhelmed, and building all the wrong ships, at least I’ve come to notice that in the guilds I’ve been in. With this guide I intend to give the basic concepts of what to build and why, and some of the strategy behind each fleet composition.

I’m assuming that, reading this, you already have the proper understanding of what structures to build, and when, and a basic understanding of how combat works.

AE is a combat game, a lot of the profit and the point in playing is always centered around combat, and the first thing that a player as to understand is that when it comes to combat, AE is rock, paper, scissors. That means that for each unit there is a counter-unit. Another important point to understand is that AE is a team-centric game. Thus the need for specialization.

Originally from the Astro Empires forums. Taken from the Astro Empires Wiki.
Well you’ve all survived thus far, congratulations. The following is intended to assist individuals who have finished with the various “10 astros in 7 days” guides and are wondering how to proceed. The following assumes you have 10 bases with level 2 ion turrets and 200 fighters. This may have taken you more than 7 days, if so, that’s OK, just read this when you are ready. This is not to be considered gospel, just a point in the right direction.

How to Build 10 Planets in 7 Days

Guide: How to Build 10 Planets in 7 Days

Originally from the Astro Empires forums. Taken from the Astro Empires Wiki.
ATTENTION: New player protection has changed. Once you reach level 10 (you can find your level on your account page), other players within five levels of you will be able to attack and plunder your bases, regardless of how many days you have been playing. You may need to build decent fighter cover and defense turrets when you reach level 9. On the other hand, if you are surrounded by level 30-somethings, you might be able to get by without significant defenses until you get your tenth planet. The guide below was written before this change, so some information on this topic may be incorrect. For example, the next paragraph.

A very important warning: Do not focus on producing a fleet during the first seven days. A fleet requires credits to produce. The credits mentioned in this article are to be used to make ten bases in seven days not a large fleet in seven days. The only ships recommended to be produced are one (1) fighter (per base), two (2) scout ships (Keep replacing if destroyed; max two at any time), and nine (9) outpost ships (More if you can make more bases). The fighters will protect the trade routes that will be established at your base (s). The scout ships will be used to travel through out the galaxy looking for astros’ to build a base on. The outpost ships are of course to be used to build the bases (The number of outpost ships does not matter if you can use them with in the seven days).
