I am new to GC3 and to the series. I have been playing on Beginner / Easy mode against the Iconions on small size systems to learn the Game. Everything goes well until about turns 150 to 170 when I want to attack them and get my butt kicked every time. I usually have fleets of 5 to 6 medium capital ships with weapons & defence that counters theirs. Although they seem to change from time to time and it's hard to keep up. Does anyone have any words of wisdom or a link to something I can read to get over this hump. I want to move into the campaign game but am afraid I will just get frustrated if I am not prepared for it. I have even lost to smaller fleets that seem to just chip away and destroy my ships.
Thanks in Advance ...
