Bio at 8? That limits your miniturization to 40% (60% remaining). Bio at 14 in future will limit your miniturization to 70% (30% remaining), in other words cost of flak will be cut in HALF from 60% of original to 30%.

I suggest that one of you should work to get bio higher so they can build flak and suicidal BB ships cheaper. If one of you has low bio, then the high bio guy can transfer the flak to raise its attractiveness at cost of a slot (both players have slot of same item).

I see often 5 players on battleboard so range is less an issue than normal.

Perhaps your goal is to kill his flak while protecting yours, with subgoal of lowering his shields. Alternative goal is to scratch his beamers but stay out of range of his flak so his beamers become more attractive to missiles than his flak.

Another type of goal is to first strike eliminate the enemy and don't really worry about defences as much, in other words several stacks of battle computers.

Streaming pulverizer, big murtha, mega disrupter, and syncro sapper are all interesting beam weapons. If he backs away from the streaming pulverizer, he is further from your flak and you are closer to attacking his.

Remember that syncro-sappers cause your ships to retreat to 3 squares from his nearest shield... so mixing syncro and short range beamers may be very bad. I suggest dedicated sappers as secondary ship, it'll chase his missile ships once his beamer shields fall.

You may want to think about less shields or shieldless nubs or BB, especially if he has many sappers in play (seeing you have no RS anyways)... such ships would focus on being dirt cheap.

...

As your enemy with only battleships and dreadnaughts, I would be aiming to suicide or first strike kill your chaff, then missile the rest, and manipulate battleboard to make my job easier. They don't have IT gates, and their missile ships are harder to overcloak... use your IT gates to pick your battles.
