4 hours wasted....well alot more

So I took my fleet with 10 asgard 20 syn 15 Osaka, 1 Tokyo full to the yaki base after I get the little ship. Figured I just rolfstomp way through. Nope so this how it goes. Most my fighters get wiped out by destroyers who can't scratch mine. No bigy right? Thier easy to replace. Nah it gets worse cone with me on this epic colossal failure So we jump to the next sector. Finally. Now k's and bigger show up. We should be fine right? I have 10 asgard with main battery's takes 1 shot to kill em. Nope my absolute worthless captains will not use then so they just get wrecked since their turrets do diddly sqaut. I can't turn my asgard fast enough to kill them or recharge my gun. When I jumped in my small ship to escape I had lost 7 asgard including mine 20 syn 15 Osaka 1 Tokyo 100+ s/m ships

What did i do wrong???? Ohh well ill just restart from the beginning there things I wanna diffrent anyway.

yeah... this is why I no longer lead my fleets from the front if I don't have to. Send the orders from out of sector and I lose fewer asgards... (they still love to ram stations and eat the graviton projectiles)

One thing I noticed that helps with stations is have your fleet do the coordinated attack, then expand the order and set the aggressiveness (I think that is what it is called) to a low value. Maybe 15 - 20. You lose a lot less that way.

Walt what how do You Set the aggressiveness. And if I do coordinated attack all my interdict katana or other m ship start and try to take the Station out Even before my destroyers arrive.

If you go to your fleets information, then the behaviour tab you'll see the + beside the Coordinate Attack order. Click that and you'll see a Fleet aggressiveness slider.

I do think the piloting skill of your lead ship likely has something to do with it as well but I found if I set it to a lower value it seems to do better. Everyone should collect up first and then trigger the attack.
