Strategy from one AE Player to a n00b

[Erex]

Ok So I've played astro Empires for almost 3 years now and I've learned a lot from the game. And I understand the game mechanics but that doesn't make me an expert god no I'm still learning. But what I do know I want to convey to you. This post will be about how to build a Levi Stack. A leviathan is a 6.67 mile long ship that gives your entire fleet a 5% bonus to attack power and armor. Well its also the scariest ship in the entire game because if your a n00b and you see one of these at your base you going to be perma occ. Or permantly occupied. So I'll talk to you how to build one, maintain them and how to counter them. 1.) You need the tech to build such behemoths, and the strutctures. 2.) You need 200,000 credits per ship 3.) You need a hiding place to put these when not in combat. So lets begin A Good levi stack is however many you can build but I believe its more than 3. So when you add a levi to a fleet it adds 200k in fleet to that fleet. Well you have 120, you have more than a billion in fleet and that is damn near impossible to kill. Its also a scare tactic against smaller guilds. Having any amounts of leviathans will scare your smaller enemies to pure terror as there is not much that can kill them. How to maintain? Well they are expensive to repair nearly 20k in credits to repair such monsters. And when you got 120 its extremely expensive. So if your going to have a Levi stack you need money to maintain them. Now how to counter? Well you need 50k In Heavy Cruisers, or 130k in frigates and your still going to lose so here is a fleet to kill a single Levi: 1k In Battleships 50k Heavy Cruisers 120 Fleet Carriers 30k Destroyers and Max amount of Heavy Bombers, and fighters This fleet will give you a profit.
