Introduction

Note: Credit goes to letsrock

This is a guide for playing Vaygr faction in Multiplayer on Player Patch 2.3 (as it’s the main version for online multiplayer).

The fleet composition recommended here is Fighters + Destroyers + Corvettes + BCs. Note that there are other good compositions as well such as Frigate-focus.

This assumes that you can get 3 patches on the map (so not on Shield map etc).

Opening

Eco:

• Immediately send your initial collectors to work
• Send your Carrier to the natural expansion
• Queue 3 collectors each on MS and Carrier and send them to the natural expansion
• Adjust the above depending on map to make sure that no collector is queuing

Scouting:

• Build some probes and send them to the opponent’s location

Research:

• Build research module on the MS

Early Game

Eco:

• If safe (e.g. in a team games and/or not too close to the opponent), expand to 3rd patch by building ref and collectors

Fleet:

• Build Fighter mod on both MS and Carrier 1
• Then build Capital mod on MS
• Build AC/Lance/Bomber non-stop depending on what the opponent are building. If Hyper Torp rush is a possibility, build 2 – 3 bombers first
• Build 2 Carriers from MS, then Destroyers
• Carrier 2 build fighters
• Carrier 3 build corvettes

Research:

• Bomber/Lance
• Fighter speed upgrade
• Destroyer
• EMP
• Corvette
• MS production upgrade

Mid Game

Eco:

• Maxing collectors when possible
• 4 patches if possible

Fleet:

• Fighters + Destroyers with Corvette support
• Scouts (around 5) with EMP is a must
• Use Laser corvettes to harass opponent’s eco
• Make Shipyard when possible

Research:

• Hyperspace
• Battlecruiser
• Shipyard production upgrade
• Capital ship health upgrade
• Carrier production upgrade
• Proximity

Late Game

Eco:

• Make sure collectors are always maxed out and minimize queuing
• Move collectors if RUs run out

Fleet:

• Fighters + Destroyers + BCs with Corvette support
• Make Carrier 4 (Corvette) if floating money
