Macs screw ships up. It is supposed to be like that. and how many strike fighters they have? they really make a difference these days.

What would expect to happen to a ship with no shields when it gets hit by a 600 tonne slug of ferrous material traveling at several thousand miles an hour?

It scales as the game progresses. For the first 30 minutes or so a fleet of 20 to 30 can work.

Economy first, then start to commission battlegroups, supplement them with orbital defence platforms and minefields on frontline worlds.

Can't you only get maximum of 200 Halcyons/Marathons because of 2000 Fleet Supply with ten fleet supply per ship.

You people and your silly fleets. Identical battlegroups with conventional names are where it is at.
