- I was looking at the Tholians and I think I can see a way to make them
- invinsible BUT I don't think any one can afford to fight them just from a
- BPV/S8.0 standpoint.
- All you have to do is place a base with wedding cake in the center of the
- map. Around it you six other bases with wedding cakes. Now all you need is a
- couple of Web Tenders to recharge the webs from the edges which are
- protected by the center base. I guess you could do this without the center
- base.
- As a cheaper, but less invunerable, alternative three bases can be recharged
- from the central corner, but can be attacked if some brave (stupid) captain
- dives his ship into the web but it will probably be a range 5 shot, and if
- the Tholians rocky road the cake it will hurt alot.
- Too bad a Heavy Web Tender isn't allowed (a Large Ore Carrier filled with
- APR) :-).
- What do you think?
