* BiggerStickBiggerStick: The ship design allows you to customize your ship's equipment and the ship's scale. When engaging an enemy more powerful than you, it's common to simply start flinging enormous battleships and orbital defense stations at the enemy, who will often counter with even bigger ships, [[LensmanArmsRace and so the cycle continues]].

As you (and your enemies) develop their economy and research facilities to improve and innovate their technology, navies become progressively larger and more powerful, with single ships capable of wiping out entire cities with a single shot. Towards the end-game, both sides will be flinging ships the size of stars at each other, building multiple {{Ring World Planet}}s, bombing planets to dust, and [[StarKilling killing the stars themselves.]]

** Barrage and Cluster launchers are particularly important when fighting ships utilizing EM defenses, as they cause a percentage of all shots fired upon them to miss. While missiles seemingly able to recognize that they missed, turn around, and try to not miss a second time, the more missiles approach still proves to be significantly more effective in dealing with ships that are utilizing EM defenses.
Added DiffLines:
** EM defenses work similarly, except that it is possible to have two separate layers of EM defenses, resulting in enemy targeting computers having a very small chance of hitting, without the ammo expense of Point defenses. Naturally EM defenses dont stop fighters, or MacrossMissileMassacre very effectively.
