lliance News broadcast:- People of the Terran Alliance, this has been a dark time for our people. Our attempts to defend our Altarian brothers from the Korx aggression have failed due to the Torian surprise assault. The battle between our main fleet and the Torian main fleet resulted in a costly victory for our fleet. Although the Torian battleships were destroyed by our powerful frigates, the bulk of them were lost. However, do not despair! The navy has been rebuilding, and t

They have no other weakness. Just build cheap fighters on mass, and deploy them in fleets only! Dread lord ships are surprisingly weak against heavy firepower, but u have to keep pace with the fleet loses.

When I played this level, I faced dread lord ships with 92+ mass driver attack points, BUT no armour or other defences and only 8-22 hit points. I quickly realised that trying to protect my ships was pointless. Therefore, the answer was to build small, cheap ships on mass, with as much speed and firepower as possible. Then combine as many of these ships into fleets and use the combined firepower to destroy dread lord vessels with one salvo. I lost many fleets before my research enabled enough fi
