...
Also bear in mind that orbitals don't help you keep your minerals from being stolen. The RB ship never has to enter weapon range. That means you need ships that are both fast enough to catch it and powerful enough to destroy it. If I remember correctly, destroying the freighters doesn't help. The RB will still pull up the minerals as ordered in a waypoint 1 task even if they can't go anywhere. Wiping out the RB is the only way to protect yourself. That means you have to have manuever jets and a hull that can use them - DD maybe, but more likely cruiser.

That is exactly why I asked the questions about possible looting ban on HWs or starting Pirate's fleet/composition.

At this moment it looks like if the Pirates have an RB ship (and no matter what other ships) at the start, then they can discover Empire HW within the first 10-12 turns and Gible (err.. God Very Happy

) help that Empire in this case...

Perhaps God should give Empires a fast CC at the start - which could catch and destroy the RB ? Rolling Eyes
