Birth of the Federation

With Card turn 13 I had 16 battle 11 cruisers 4 tt. Thats with only 1 demand from Fed. I didn't even meet the other major yet. Way too easy to make ships. I didn't bother making all the extras, just the 2 morale things then right to ships. Large fleets means crash. Doubleful in MP a battle could fin...

I've played twice now t5 fed. Found it way too easy to make ships. With 6 systems, u can make 6 ships per turn, assuming u get the dill. Too many ships I find. Plus, the t5 upgrades r easy to get. Kind of takes reaearch outta the game. Just my initial thoughts. Will continue playing other techs and ...

As Fed, I'll scrap Daystrom on Sol and make on my minor for the morale.

Build the Bajor and/or Edo bonus. They each give +1 morale.

Oh, and don't build anytihing that has a minus 1 morale.

Use a minor to boost your morale. Don't kill the minor ship, just hail. It will retreat, assuming you don't just use a scout. Do this every single turn to boost your morale. Or, if a minor doesn't have any ships, bomb every turn. Bombing boosts all majors morale except Fed.

fed can only win t4 on a small map and only if they are close to another major. Their cc is only good for bombing. Build 5 or 6 cc, then only dd and tt. Then take major. No point upgrading cc as it doesn't do fed much. Fed needs to take the enemy and fast before they can upgrade their dd's.

Rom and Kling rule t4, especially med and lrg maps. They can get dd2 fast and fed/ferg/card die easy then. On small map, fed/ferg has a chance. A good chance if they get demand $.
