Sieging

Sieging is a strategy commonly used to destroy bases.

It involves the use of heavy siege ships, especially Dreadnoughts.

Many ships are built for this purpose, such as Archeon, Cyclops, Apocalypse and Ridgebreaker.

For support, other ships may also be used, to destroy any incoming enemy ships., or to distract base fire.

Strengths

 * High damage output of dreadnoughts make base destruction quick and easy.
 * Requires little skill to master.
 * Extremely hard to defend against with the right support ships.

Weaknesses

 * Base fire can do high damage to dreadnoughts, especially when they are large and easy to hit.
 * As most dreadnoughts lack adequate ship-to-ship combat power, and are slow, small ships can wreck havoc on them without taking much damage.
 * Dreadnoughts are expensive and unavailable to starting players.
