Hi. I'm back from an 8 year hiatus (wow, it's been that long) and decided to fire up the latest and greatest and run a large UDM at mid tech. Been doing well and trying to keep my fleets built up as I progress - even got a nice bit of intel and economics going and a nice sized empire. I'm playing Fed.
One problem - the Klingons decided to play hardball (no surprise) only now they are spamming BoPs (30+) and Battle cruiser 2s and keeping them cloaked. This is tearing my fleets to shreds. I'm actually slightly more advanced but I have no idea how to counter this. Any ideas?
My fleets are made up of Destroyer 3s, Medium Cruisers, and Heavy Explorers. I JUST got Heavy Cruisers and Light Escorts.
I know the Heavy Escort and Dreadnought are the ships to get, but I'm not there yet.
Let me know please.

Assimilate this!
Re: Battling cloaked Klingon Ships @ tech 8...
Your Destroyer 3s should have a higher hull rating that the BoPs. Group Ram the BoPs with your destroyers and then finish off the BC2s with strafe/assault. If you're heavily outnumberd then build more, regroup, and use the above tactic.

Can you imagine if they did this tactic in the battles seen in DS9? lol.
Ships ramming each other all over the place.

The Jem'Hadar did use ramming.

I do too, but I couldn't find any clips of them ramming Klingons in 5 minutes of searching. Only the Odyssey.
