Seeking federation and war council tutelage

After launching my Coup I have gained control of one country, quickly, I invaded another.

Embarrassingly, on the third occupation attempt my generals became suicidal assuming if we took out their airport they would not be able to launch their defensive planes.

We were wrong. Their jets can apparently tly take off vertically.

We request tutelage and a federation for our next attempt, soon to occur in the next 48 hours with or without council. Although, we would prefer to not lose 3 trillion worth of units. X.x

I believe the only limits bases place is on how many active weapons there can be, outside of units, before additional weapons are placed in reserve. The limit, according to docs, is 20,000 weapons per base.

My guide on taking C3 countries is on the Beginner's Forum. Updates since it was written has made the numbers off, but the basic strategy is sound. Drop special forces to paint the map. Clear interceptors, using precision bombers to absorb your losses. etc.

Starting as a beginner on FB is rough. Any semi-experienced player can wipe you from the map. I recommend creating a base on any other world to establish an economic base before venturing there. Shuttles allow you to project your power to FB when you are ready, but, just as important, you need to gain some game knowledge as well.

If I get wiped from the game I'll just have en excuse to quit. XD
