This is my third master of orion 4 game since 2016 and 7th game overall. I'm trying to blitz here on a known map --- I launched it with Omniscient trait before to see all races starting locations. Just wan't to show what I came up with against impossible AI.

Notes: You can kill them on turn 17, but I chose more balanced approach. I get unlucky during star base assault, because your frigate usually survives first missile salvo and star base goes down in first 2 rams without destroyer bait. You can't ram with destroyer too and pumping 4th frigate instead will doom this strategy.

Normal star base killing strategy: If you don't have destroyer tech, then try to build support frigate with a lot of pd lasers. First AI attacks closest target that can do the most damage to him, so disable your weapons before getting close to star base, so AI keeps his rockets on bait ships. If frigate survives first salvo, then push him forward (he going to die anyway), but don't use your raming frigates augmented engines. when you get close enough you wan't to fire your lasers and give them raming order. When your frigates is super close press augmented engines and that will do extra raming damage. If you get unlucky like me then draw second missile salvo to your destroyer by pushing him slightly forward, so he can open fire, so star base don't switch to your raming frigate next.
