Dodge the patrols and kill the enemy
I don't get how to beat this one.
The enemy has a lot of firepower (mk7). I can beat one or two, but the fleet can't hold all this megaships...
Any advice ?
Cheat.
Spoiler
Place the cruiser (disable build) somewhere near the enemy ships, their MK7 will shoot it, as long as it remains closer to them than any other of your ships.
You can take out enemy ships without taking much damage this way, stray shots might be a problem if the cruiser is poorly placed.
The singu2 is extremely fast and can hold its own for some time, in combination with the Latham Sr you can start killing the emitters.
