I don't have fodder as i don't intent to attack planets with fleets, Bombers take cares of it all. Just 15 Bombes can handle 200 Small Lasers. Wonderful things they are.

Bombers are slow, expensive and use a lot of deut. I didnt really build any till I started hitting defences where the Missiles or Small Lasers numbers would be in the thousands.

When you start raiding BS and LF's are the most useful, then when you need to wade through fodder start using cruisers as well.
 
I have 2331 ships, which probably does include probes (about 35) and solar satellites (14). Currently ranked 287th for fleet score, and considering some people have hundreds of probes, I reckon my fleet is pretty respectable.

Bombers I think will really come into their own when you get Hyperspace Engines 8 (which I should get soon), as they'll then be as fast as Destroyers. At the moment I don't use my bombers very often as they're simply too slow.
 
Afraid its lvl 8 for the speed increase.

Bombers are good but you have to look at what your using your fleet for to see if its cost effective to have them. I'll be changing the makup of my fleet slightly as I rebuild it, probably will increase my number of bombers but thats just due to the number of turtles about, which I may add I'm becoming as I cut down on my time playing.

You really should read LOTR dude, but make sure you read The Hobbit first :)

LOL... Read LOTR twice and the Silmarillion.
Not read the Hobbit yet. :o

Fantastic books though - I did have names all from the Silmarillion, but gone with Neon Genesis Evangelion now.
Loads of peeps in OGame have LOTR names. :p

And the films CANNOT do the books justice.
6 films, and you'd be getting close.
I'm so glad I read the books way before the films came out.
Just seeing the characters as YOU see them, not as actors. :)

There are 2 types of people in the world.
Those that have read LOTR, and those who are going to read LOTR.
Some famous author

Anyways - I'm not that keen on fodder yet.
I prefer minimal losses at the moment.
As the targets get bigger, then I can see when fodder would reduce your losses, but at the moment, with my iccle fleet, and speedsimming, I prefer no/minimal losses.

Not to say that 1000's of LF's will not be getting built soon, just that other things need res first. :)

I don't use fodder that much, but I'm building it anyway. Currently on 1200 light fighters and rising.

A comment like that is a hanging offence !! :p

They are slow but its just a case of studying your target. If you are base busting (my personal favourite) then 8/10 times a morning hit will have no issues at all, they are americans offline. 40/50 bombers with some BS fodder to spread the damage will take out 2000+ small lasers in a few rounds and take the res for the win.

I know, I do it almost every day ;)

Horses for courses, regardless of speed. In the early days cruisers are great because the defences are missile launchers, once you get to small lasers tho destroyers are ok but bombers are just so much more versatile for bases. They get rapidfire against almost all comers, I love them. :D
 
Yep - Have to say - Bombers are fantastic. :D

I now need to research HSE's from 6 -> 8... That's getting done straight after shields 11 and combustion 11.
(Recyclers are sooo slow, which is a good thing in some ways tho)

Their RF allows me to takle people I'd never have been able to with BS's alone.
(And less losses than with fodder)

Oh don't worry, I use the exact same tactics (gotta love the time difference when it works in our favour), but they're still slow ;)
 
Looks like I got in just in time this morning. My main planet was being probed and I had two minutes left to fleetsave so that he didn't see any resources or fleet size.

My two other major colonies got probed and I did the same thing so looks like they might be getting bored with me as they've been probing my colonies just about every day so far since I came out of "noob" protection.
