Tips
Bombers can't be sent alone because they use more fuel than they can store.
Rocket Launcher can provide your colony with basic protection. But it is not strong enough later, so you need to build other defensive units to give more protection.
Light Lasers can provide more protection to your colony. It is cost effective and therefore appears on almost every planet .
Heavy Lasers cost four times that of a Light Lasers , and four Light Lasers are better than a Heavy Laser , however, Light Lasers take twice as much damage from Bombers than Heavy Lasers
Bombers have the most shield, and strength (the attack is tied with the Battleship ), however they use 4 times as much fuel, and go 60% slower than Dreadnoughts .
Dreadnoughts are very useful in ship vs ship combat, so it is good for exploration and raiding.
BattleReports Gather battle report is a good/passive way know your attacker, especially sharing alliances .
