My first big fight of the game. I was outbid at the last second, so the pirates chose me as their target. Lucky me, I already had Advanced Psidar, so I ordered the Bombers out of their hangers to sting the enemy as they exited warp. With 50 bombers (which is the minimum for all my planets) I've found that I can kill most of the frigates of any faction with one pass. So, while waiting for the pirates to arrive, I fiddled around with the camera until I got this angle, which reminded me of a Battlestar Galatica episode (can't remember which one), which in turn lead to the thought, "BSG was never this badass". Anyway, this shot also includes: 2 Crystal Asteroids, 3 Civic Research Stations, 1 Broadcast Center, 1 Gauss Defense Platform, and 1 Civilian Cargo Ship. Figure out which is which and win a slice of E-Pie!
They come in squadrons of five, with two squadrons to a hanger, so I never use less than five hangers. I also get all the missile upgrades as soon as I can, so those 50 bombers will maul just about anything that pops into my space short of a heavy cruiser in one or two passes.

Fleet 3) 2 Kol Battleships (Both at level 4); 1 Dunov Battlecruiser (at level 3); 30 Cobalt Light Frigates; 10Kodiak Heavy Cruisers.
The most fun I ever had with them was when I sent 5 Arcova Scout Frigates through a pirate base from one side to the other, then while the pirates were clustered on the other side of the gravity well, deployed my fleets all at once on the now empty side. I think half of them survived the missiles and bombers long enough to engage 3rd fleet in close combat.

I'm on a custom map right now, i was lucky enough to have one path into my system though a terran planet.
If you get this i suggest filling the tactical slots with Phase Jump Inhibitors and station a massive carrier fleet there (I had at least 130-140 squadrons there). Because of this I havn't had a single enemy ship enter my system ^_^ HAIL THE TARSONIAN EMPIRE!!!!!!!!!
