I've figured them out now thanks. I agree that they appear to be an impasse unless you figure out how to beat them. As Advent, I had some Vasari attacks against my starbase & the Vasari AI seems quite effective against them & even attacks with a battlegroup protecting them. You are correct, I withdraw my complaint about the impasse. The pirates are crazy powerful though, aren't they?
Thanks for your advice, I will try that next planet! I was getting wacked because the Ai had his fleet there with a starbase. On this occasion I reduced his fleet by sending pirates. Then I sent 5 capital ships so that I could finish off his fleet without any losses. I jumped back my ships to recover, then sent them again to wipe out the tactical defences but ignored the starbase. Then jumped back the ships to recover.

Hi I'm a long term Sins player, but have only just started playing Trinity. I like playing Advent on large single star maps. An hour or so into the game, I built a couple Starbases to get the idea of them & then noticed that all the AI players near me had done the same. I understand that I can leap-frog the protected planet, but what is the best way to wipe out a Starbase? I had to pull out my main battlegroup as I was getting wacked very quickly. As far as I can t
Thanks guys You were correct, it was the mines from the hangers that I had set to auto. I will watch out for starbases, but I've not been able to progress that far up the tree yet. Read manuals? Bah! ;)

I have noticed that I can reduce the rate of resource loss if I am not a pirate target at any time - not just at the alert moment. I will test this now. (Pirates seem pretty strong in Trinity!)
Hi First please let me apologise for my username here. I've been trying to sign up on this forum for about a year & gone through every forum username I have ever used. I REALLY don't like Impulse! I'm a long term Sins player & have played the regular Sins version for a year or more. I love the game. Because I couldn't make Impulse work, I bought a new shrink wrapped Trinity Edition from Amazon last week. I un-installed my regular Sins rebooted & installed Trinity.<
