Can you actually defeat Dark Fog?

[Maltebyte]

^^^ Is this even possible? Once i Clear my Solar System will new Enemies arrive from other Star systems? or will they stay in that star system? I guess im trying to say do they migrate?

Thanks!

I know if you take them off the planet at least for now for me it seems safe. That being said I don't think we get enough space combat to take them out of our solar systems... Their planning on future updates just for this function though.

You would think the enemy has limited ammo ... this I will see ... I never seen a game without unlimited enemy ammo ... sheez ... the only solution is to attack defensively and asap ...maybe.

I noticed an achivement for finding ''the Dark Fog Communicator'' which I also spotted orbiting stealthily around the sun in my starter system, I think the devs have the dark fog working step by step to reach/attack you.

Stage 1: Send a communicator and/or Hive core to a star system that doesn't have one.
Stage 2: Start sending relays and heavy barges to the planets in the system to obtain mass.
Stage 3: Use the mass gathered by the relays to expand planetary bases and the hive node.
Stage 4: Exterminate any threat in the system.
Stage 5: Construct a new hive seed to send to another star system.

I just removed 3 bases from a planet. 20 min later 2 new bases had spawned on that same planet. Kind of annoying to be honest, to constantly play whack-a-mole like that and not have time to focus on science.

I don't like the DF starting on the same planet as me. (game I lust started) If it's always that way, I think I'll just leave it off. Takes the zen out of the game and replaces it with rage lol.

In a roleplaying sense sure they have limited ammo. They deep core mining for resources and power. They have bases all over the galaxy including the planet you start on. They have then a station above that and then the big complex in the solar system. They seem to be getting as much ammo, etc as they need.

Found this little gem.. hold them at bay for a while whilst you build up your forces!

Easy way out of this ... disable the fog at starting a game.

Has anyone figured out how to use the Plasma Turrets? Or do they not target the Relays? I feel like a noob with how seemingly tedious this DF appears to be.

So they just basically respawn then? thats annoying! Hope the devs remove that from the game. I dont mind them approaching the planet again with another hive hunit or what eva it is and then seend down units to rebuild but just respawning plop out of nowhere sux!

Man i thought this was That patch space combat and everything in one? no we have to wait even longer! :(

The inability to view distant planets and issue orders to defend/know that your defense is failing seems problematic... That or I haven't noticed some new tech that enables that

what rage? and the game needed something to keep you busy, eg the fighting we got.

On Standard settings the Dark Fog arent even a threat. Not even on your starting planet.

I set mine to like 25% just knowing that they are there is enough for me atm! not had a visit so far im at the red cube now so yeah now i know for the next game that even default is easy!

I think this update would have been more interesting if the dark fog hadn't been placed in the starting system and only began to get introduced when you hit late red science or yellow science. In other words they only found you because you decided to fly into orbit.

So far it's fairly simple to kill. The whack a mole thing on other planets makes me think you should avoid even taking out their bases. Just surround them with defense lines and leave them alone. Clear them out on your home planet for sure. I have yet to see them attempt to land a new module on my homeworld. I was wondering if this is normal??
