I'm fairly new to the latest incarnation of PDS, but my tactic to deal with BB's is to make every last ship shoot at it while my AI ally is dealing with its escorts, but usually the BB is so slow that by the time it gets to battle, all its buddies are dead and all that remains is my capital ship force waiting with hungry weapon ports ready to throw every last drop of ammunition at it. Its definately powerful though, one game I was Vaygr, and was basically down to a resource op and my cityship, that was it, but unfortunately or my hiig enemy they let me build a BB and....well.....sucks to be a battered up dumb AI when the human player gets out his I-WIN button. :Its powerful, but I think it fits fine in the game so far, perhaps required minor tweaks at best. I usually win my battles as Hiigaran or Vaygr but until I can try it out against a human opponent I wont know for sure how OP or not it is. |

I just wanted to add, I have never had too big a problem dealing with the Battle barge, but it is one of the only engagements where I truly do need to micromanage. I find frigates invaluable in the fight, as well as swarm type of fighters to pull of some of their guns. the maj and one other cap ship able to take a punch are best, but you need to keep them moving so the big beams of the BB cant get them so easy. it takes a minute but the Bb goes down. i think the Vaygr are way outclassed in everyfield (yes even strikecraft) but the Higs so it is delightful to be able to take that out and tip the scales. |

It's easy to take down a Battlebarge ?! Well that mostly depends on the situation your in. Seeing a Battlebarge (BaBa) emerge in front of your battered fleet after dispatching two combined Vaygr armadas including one shipyard, and three battleships, while the reinforcement are still far away, and thus being forced to engage a BaBa with it's substantial escort with just one PoH Battlecruiser, two destroyers (the frigates, not the Arbiters which are technically fleet cruisers), and minimal strike coverage. Now that is not easy. I managed to take half the Barges health before I got destroyed. Shortly afterwards my reinforcements arrived and whipped the floor with the BaBa and the Vaygr. If only they arrived a minute earlier. Oh well, one of the best engagements I ever had. One of the thing it goes against the BaBa is that you can't miss it, even if you try, you can't. |
