Want to build up a Terran Carrier Srike force

Post by Terrion » Thu, 12. Jan 12, 10:06

Need some advice on getting started... Well my bad I went and bought Albion Prelude - 5 mins and graphics look much nicer. Now here is my question.

I want to play a very specific playstyle with a very specific Race. What I would like to do is play as Terrans and start with manufacturing building up an empire and eventually leading up to building a Carrier Strike force with the ability to support such a fleet. I just love the Tokyo class Carrier awesome looking.

I Have played all the x games but mostly just messing around with the money cheat. buy a factory and build some stuff; buy carrier etc. Not really the way the game was meant to be played.

When you answer please try to visualize USS Enterprise Standing alone against the Might of the Japanese Navy. (I'll probably get squashed) I think Carrier Warfare is still valid in this game. Not sure though

1 Is this playstyle possible playing as terran and terran ships. IE Tokyo with adequate escorts.
2 Are there any mods that would make my gaming life easier IE controlling carriers. This has always been a pain for me. I think building up a manufacturing base is pre-requesite to my needs though.
3 Absolutely no money cheat codes please. I want to experience the full Monty :-).
4 or Can this be done with Vanilla
5 Any suggestions on which start to use and how best to achieve these goals.


Thanks in advance for any replies - flames - suggestions and offers of advice :-)

Regards,

Terrion the Terran Terror

Hi, I'd say that you have to be patient and well versed in the game mechanics to begin with the Terran start. Firstly you can't hire terran TL's so you have to grind until you can buy your first TL because I have read that commonwealth TL's (hired) don't dock with Terran shipyards.

The Terran systems are connected by trans-orbital accelerators making it hard to really get good bread from stations, even now that they have added a few jump beacons.

After a few game days some of the Terran stations begin to dissapear, so I would buy a few cheap M5's and dock them to essential stations such as ghoul missile fabs and M/AM ammo fabs because annoyingly you can't buy those stations.

1: Yes it is possible but hard, the Tokyo is a fine ship and if you fill it with poltegeist spamming cutlasses you'll be tearing up the universe, just make sure you save often because each ship is a small fortune combined with a huge ball ache if destroyed....

2: I don't know any myself but check the S&M forum I'm sure there will be, as far as I know the fleet commands have been upgraded in AP.

3: Dam right!

4: Yes. But will take time, stick with it and don't be tempted to cheat, it's far more rewarding and you feel as though you have accomplished something

5: Here is a link to help you thanks go to Ripskar
