Tutorial for beachhead strat?

[mr.ioes]

Can't find anything on google, only a few completely outdated articles. How do I go about it properly?

[mr.ioes]

Any tips? What to do vs Ion canons for example?

[VIGILO CONFIDO]

Beachead mainly involves bringing in a mobile builder and building a whole bunch of defenses on the wormhole. Ion cannons are not that strong if you can take down the system fast.

[mr.ioes]

What system? Ion doesn't even need supply, let alone the fact that in 95% of all cases there's an adjacent AI planet.

[VIGILO CONFIDO]

In the system you are attacking. You can capture ion cannons by destroying the AI command station and then building one yourself. The AI even built an ion cannon mark V as I was destroying a command station and I said thank you. Gotta love RNG.

[mr.ioes]

This just blew my mind. What other buildings can I capture? Fortress? Eye?

[VIGILO CONFIDO]

You can capture ion cannons, mass drivers, radar dampeners, counter spies, blachole generators, gravity drills, ETC.

You can not capture fortresses or eyes. I have destroyed super fortresses with a sabatoge hack before using ships that forces enemy to be within a certain range to attack since super fortresses have near infinite range.
