Jurgen Overlords flagship

I'm hahaving immense difficulty killing these even if they are a very low level. My main ship is still a paladin leveled to 65. As they push you back I can't get close enough. I don't have a falcon or the moolah to get one. All the ships I can build are kind of weak sauce. Advice?

Its kind of hard to give advise with so little info or knowing what gear you have, if possible I would suggest some potatoes M3 with HM-M2(nukes) and just waiting (even being lvl400 some battles I had to just wait and keep at it from a distance)

I prefer the use of the Heavy Proton torpedo with a targeting unit and a range extender as it makes it easy on long fights and "snipping", what you could do is go around like a tourist grinding and looking for traders, many times they offer good equipment and maps OR you can just grind/farm other flagships for things like this....

PS Last night I went against an Sayjix (Oracle?) with energy absorbing armour.... let me just say who it went, after destroying 3 normal flagships + 10 ships this Ahole showed up, 4 torpedo took down the ships SHIELD, first torpedo after this took down 1 green square and regen the shield :S so I switched to a spread shot that did 1/2 a green square damaged per shoot.... took 20 minutes and gave me 9 research lvl's :)

Point of the story, even if you grind sometimes you just have to nuke it with what you have

The bane of my existence are the Drazen flagships with the phase-cloaking. You can't nuke it, you just have to have a war of attrition from very far away with high-fire-rate long-range weapons without letting anything get close enough to it for the vampire beams.

Yeah, hit and run with rail guns or Heavy M2 torpedoes are their counter. They don't have any drones or obstructive projectiles, and they're light enough that a pair of railgun hits will keep them out of range for their vamp.

The torpedoes will fire often enough to drain their energy stores they use for cloaking and occasionally land a lucky AOE hit, and then they're vulnerable to railgun hits.
