Good luck on fighting off your first pirate horde

Finally the pirates attacked.
And here is the story :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attacking Fleet: Long Range scanners picked up the fleet on its approach.

The fleet comprised of the Following vessels
1 Pirate HQ Vessel, 2 Frigate, 2 Corvette, 15 Fighters, 5 Combat Drop ships.

Initially the pirate fleet HQ vessel stayed well outside weapons range along with its support vessels, whilst the fighters closed range on the settlement in combat formation.
Orbital Attack: The pirates attacked without any due care and attention to their survival, dive bombing your settlement defences but really have such poor aim as to make minimal impact.

Meanwhile whilst the pirates erratically attacked targets of opportunity your weapons locked on and dispatched every last fighter. The battle was over in a matter of minutes!
Ground Attack: Due to the courageous and heroic efforts of your Settlement Offences the Pirates never attempted to land a ground attack force.

Their Combat drop ships remained in orbit close to their support ships out of reach of your guns.

Credits Taken : 0 / SRP Stolen: 0 / Morale Affected: +5%

Thank you for reading and leave message here.

Lost pirates attack 3 in a row and settlement morale now drop to 17%
No service available atm.

I would suggest increasing your HP slightly, 10K + the 9K shield are not a lot in the way of 'buffer'. Plus as a general rule I'd aim for 1000 Offence and 1000 Defence where possible.

Coops

As Coops said you need some settlement HP make it exactly 20k by researching "Settlement Defence lvl3" any more than that is unecessary for your settlement at the moment and put the cheapest offense missile the high speed seeker will do (don't forget to put an operator on it), with the help of your newly acquired settlement repair 1 you will never lost to this pirates ever again. This setup is cheap yet effective way on dealing with pirate attacks.

nice to see a fellow CE player reading OP too.
