i always start off with this capital ship, then the Marza Dreadnought

Nice picture; I actually rarely play the TEC (Vasari ftw), but when I do, I usually build this first, then I try to get one of every capital ship at the same time. Usually I pick the Carrier next, because nothing shreds fleets and defenses like a couple of bombers and some missile platforms.

The Akkan is always the first ship to be built, followed by a 2 Kol for defense.

My tactic is to start out with the Akkan. Later on, I build the Dunov for it's super support abilities. Then afterwards, I build the Titan, and then the other capships.

I always build a Kol, then a Sova, then a mix, depending on my plans.
Honestly though, I just blast through any defenses with the biggest, and most heavily armed/armored ships available. After using multiple Novalith shots, of course.

I usually build an Akkan first because of the Colonization bonus along with the fact that you aren't spending extra fleet points on a slow, bulky, couldn't-fight-a-turkey colonization "frigate".
And as for the giant armored fleet bit, yeah, that sums up most offenses, unless you have to fight a fully armed starbase with the self-destruct sequence, and have to go through MILES of Gauss platforms. That kills any fleet. Although the Novalith is kinda useless, seeing how it only neutralizes the planet, and not destroy any of the buildings or defenses. I prefer the Kastura(?) Cannon above any of them.

The bonus is nice, but I just prefer something straightforward and tough.
At that point, I just pull back, Novalith the planet, robbing him of income from it, and then hit somewhere else.
It's more effective than the Advent Deliverance Engine, and it can be entertaining to eliminate the pirates quick and cleanly.

Meh, I rely on defenses to defend, most of the time. Active defending can shred most fleets. But yea, Kols would be ideal for defense, I just love to use offense so I build Marzas and Sovas instead. But Dunovs and Kols, along with some Robotics cruisers would outlast most fleets through sheer stamina.

Ah the Akkan, oh how I love this cruiser. I know it's not the best TEC ship but I really love having that at the forefront of my fleet. I take it you play Sins as well? ^^

The Akkan is always my flagship and quite often lasts until endgame due my giving it two Kol Battleship escorts. And yes, I play Sins quite a bit, it's one of my favourite games.

Same here, although I throw in a Dunov (I think) for shield restoration if combat gets full on. I haven't met many people who play it so I rarely play online with it, but it is one of my favorite games. ^^

I play quite often with ~TheCookieCrusher and ~Gielens over Hamachi. But as you said, not many folk play, which is a shame as it is a great game and a game full of humans would be infinitely better than 3 people and 7 NPCs.

That I can agree with, such a shame more people haven't noticed it. I'd love to join in on a match sometime.

Next time we have plans to have a game going, I'll let you know.
