Looks like that battle was VERY confusing. I'm hoping it won't be tough to manage all those bombers and fighters and frigates and capital ships.
You manage them from the empire tree or zoom out to iconic mode. But the units have incredibly sophisticated unit AI so they take care of business on their on if you want.
no way, not unless you
1) drastically rebalanced the game
2) are turtle-stupid.
Yes. It's a typical battle. This battle was from multiplayer and neither of us were turtling. It was in a neutral system.
Beta 4 was made in October. I'm playing the gamma.
