Planetary Shield Inhibitor or equivalent perhaps?
FF's need supply to work so you'll have to have captured a planet next door to the AI Homeworld to be able to use them there.
The only Mark V/Core ship you can't tag for reclamation should be Core Bombers which is a known issue.
If you're still trying to kill the AI Homeworld using mark II units I'd suggest backing off for a while & gathering more knowledge so you can unlock mark III (and get mark IV free if you have captured an Advanced Factory).
but 15 in game hours into it and i still can't figure out.
correct 75% reduction is enough
Bring engineers and MRS for repair.
With multiple FF when one gets knocked down you can turn it off and 3 sec later your eng and MRS will repair it, Turn it on and turn off another for repair and repeat. With 3 or more ff you may actually get them to heal w/o powering down. depends on the incoming fire
the idea behind using mass FF is that while your units will only do 25% damage, they will suffer 0% damage! A large blob will still inflict heavy casualties at 25% DPS, while suffering far less losses.
pop starships, specifically leech starships in and out of the wormhole, just long enough to fire a salvo and escape before the mass driver does too much damage. this will cause all the nearby ships to a) be marked for reclaimation and b) be freed, and to attack you. they attack you, you capture them, the AI garrison is reduced. repeat this until nothing is nearby.
capture an adjacent planet and build lots of FF. send them all through the wormhole to the enemy system with your fleet inside. shred all the enemy ships that attack the FF until the garrisoning AI ships are gone, then use mass bombers to take down shields. have your spaceports on the adjacent planet rapidly replacing losses and rallying to the AI homeworld so reinforcements are constant.
hope this helps
and I thought FF actually reduces the firepower of the units within it? Does it make it worse if we stack alot of FF over the units? would the effect of 25% (or 75% i can't remember) stack up?
I'm really not sure what's going on, it doesn't sound like they are really hidden. Are they just not showing up on the planetary summary sidear? In that case, you just need a scout with you.
now i can succesfully destroy it!!They shouldn't be invisible unless you're playing against something with a planetary cloaker, or perhaps the camouflager AI type.
Probably you've run into a black hole machine on that planet -- if you kill it, you can then have your ships escape.
Did you pop a Counterwave Guard Post or was your Homeworld in the border of your empire?
I hope you save often and if not maybe you could load the autosave?
yeah i popped counterwave guard post! i thought killing it would prevent wrapping from happening???
Killing it causes it to spawn a wave on any of your worlds which do not have a warp jammer.
As does killing the Comm Station on its planet.

I usaully use realistic maps myself, so that gives me more options of how I expand and such, but a snake map definatly has a different challenge to it when it comes to AIP and getting to the AI, and being lazy makes it even harder ;P
