Best ships or fleets for out-of-sector (OOS) combat
Solution 1:
Rules I am aware of:
- TC and AP are different. In AP capital ships can apparently target multiple opponents (deal with fighter swarms appropriately)
- Faster ship shoots first
- Bigger shields is better than anything else. Many ships fall to a Xenon Q in the first round of OOS combat.
- Ammunition-based weapons are not appropriate for OOS (used a whole crate per turn in Terran Conflict, this might have changed in AP.
- Fighter shield regeneration hardly matters in OOS. Go for max shielded fighters (Teladi Falcon Hauler, Aamon prototype, any Terran M3)
