Tips
BCs are excellent against mixed fleets, with RF against Heavy Fighters, Cruisers, Battleships, and cargo ships. Watch out for Destroyers and Deathstars which have RF against them.
Battlecruisers cost more crystal than metal — unusual. Make sure your Crystal Mine income keeps up.
Pure BC fleets are powerful but vulnerable to Deathstars (RF×250 against BCs). Mix with Light Fighters to absorb RIP fire.
Destroyers (×2) and Deathstars (×15) have rapid fire against Battlecruisers. Mix in other ship types to dilute these threats.
