my prefered ship is the UE Cruiser or Crescent Warship since they have the most common fighters. this code has to deal with the memory i think. so the more fighter you got, the less defense planets have. although i only have 8 Mb RAM, and im not sure if this will work with higher end machines

1. get carrier
2. constantly make sure your fighter bay is empty in order to make room for more
3. steal fighters that are the same as yours from other cruisers when disabled- must have very good firepower or else the other carrier will have time to release all of its fighters
4. again, constantly make sure that your fighter bay is empty (prior to boarding), and no you cannot buy more fighters cuz game dont allow it
5. repeat as necessary. get minimum of 40 or more fighters.
6. conquer worlds. they should only be able to send out a few measley ships before defeat, but sometimes they dont acknowledge defeat so you will hafta conquer them again.

notes: the council seems to be quite stubborn at acknowledging defeat. fighters will randomly disappear due to the Disappearing Escort bug. it will be easier on your social status to only use crecent fighters, cuz if you even take down one UE carrrier or cruiser (has anybody seen a UE cruiser controlled by AI? not including escorts, or relseased escorts) then yer guts are hated by everybody.

S.S. Huge Whoopass over and out.

Been done, the EVO universe allows only 36(I think) ships in any system at the same time. I used a Voinian warship with phase turrets and 6 Azdgari Warships I let the azdaras fill up the system and as the planetery defence ships died i replaced them with a Voinian fighter from my bay.

Yeah its 36 max ships in the system, so you can 'flood' the system with your ships, it also helps if theirs other ships, but they usually go away after a few minutes. People have been doing that way back since the first versions of EV.

If you have lots of money, you can perform the same trick by buying a UE cruiser, then capturing a little ship and using it as your ship, then buying another UE cruiser, etc. That way you are in a UE cruiser, and all your escorts are UE cruisers. If they get all their fighters out, and you have all yours out, that is 36 ships, and the planets can't launch any.

"The impossible is easy; it's the unfeasible that poses a problem."

Oh yeah! That got old back at EV 1.0.1!!!

Or, you can use my method.

(1). Get a UE Cruiser or other ship with a lot of weapons' space.

(2). Sell EVERYTHING and buy 4 shield enhancers, the 3 manuverability upgrades, a space mine launcher, and as many mines as you can hold!

(3). Stop directly over the planet you wish to dominate.

(4). Drop 5 mines for a less important planet (Munb, for example), and 10 for larger planets (Earth, Mira) and ANY Voinan planets. All of your mines need to be dropped for Council Station!!

(5). Fly very far away from the planet

(6). Demand tribute from the planet.

(7). Destroy any fighters that were not killed in the blast.
