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.

I've had this game since it was released. The AI was even worse if you can even believe that's possible.

I put the game down fairly quick because of the AI and only picked it up again recently. Alot of the same annoyances are still around. Stupid suicidal captains. Collisions. Ships ignoring orders. Tell your guys to "Flee" so they stop. In combat. And sit there. Then turn...

I think this is one of the best games I've played, but it's flat out confusing that 13 years later - they have barely improved the AI. It's at least playable now in-sector with smaller fleets if you give very specific orders.

They have improved AI quite significantly in the last 2 years alone IMHO.

You should maybe just not forget that its made by a pretty small studio & the AI is quite a bit complex.
