LT. Clouds.
Posted: Thu, 27. Oct 11, 11:52
I feel odd asking advice on these points, as I have as much practical experience as anyone using LT. clouds against the Xenon but I have no tech. knowledge of the game so:-
1. I have had LT.clouds in many Xenon sectors for years now and have been puzzled by how against certain gates the cloud stays tightly packed but in others they spread fairly quickly? This does not seem determined by sector type or the amount of traffic passing through. For instance two similar sectors; the one east of TUS3 and 101, both dead end sectors blockaded by my LT clouds at both sides of the single gate with no trade traffic, yet in TUS3 Xenon sector the LT.s have spread over a third of the sector and in 101 they remain in three tight groups in front of the gate where I dumped them no matter how many I add, I dump a hundred at a time by the way.
2. To say the Xenon have presumably an even, robotic attitude to threats in their sectors, they certainly go to great migration efforts to maintain security throughout their sectors, they have very different levels of response to my clouds? In 472 for example I had to give up the internal clouds becase they were destroyed faster than all my 6 production complexes could produce them, however in 598 near their core sector and the only sector I maintain three clouds in, I maintain them no sweat!
Any views welcome, especially those that can reduce my puzzled ignorance on these two areas of intrigue!
