Question about Fleets

I'm from ××× for the past 2+ years, so I'm finding it alittle difficult learning and figuring out what ship does what.

Now, I'm not a noob, but I an a newb.
I've only been playing Zorg for about say a month, and I've turtled my way up to 5k (halfway there! woot!)
Attacked and based myself once, raided lots of time successfully.

I play extreme.

My question is this;
What ships do I use in a fleet?
For a fleet thats for..defences should it be different?

Dont be nice to me, be as rude/blunt as you wish! I want to learn and dont care if I look stupid doing so! :)

Please don't mention other games. ~Weresloth

Your going kinda slow, only fleet if you can play every day or so. To start your fleet you want as many large cargo as you can. Once you have some start raiding those inactives around you. Get some colony ships and space out some planets to increase your raiding grounds and mine income. Once you have a good amount of cargo, start cranking out battleships (and if you have the resources for them, battlecruisers) and begin hitting targets (active if you wish) that have defense. Once you really start fleeting and trying to crash other peoples fleets (or if your losing ships to defense) build some recyclers. You should have as many recs as it takes to recycle your own fleet, or at least half that. Build a death star or two to help with fleet saves and keep raiding the whole way. In the end your fleet should have lots of cargo, plenty of battleships/battlecruisers, recs, and a few RIPs (death stars. Hope this helps and I look forward to seein your fleet in the future ;)

I have only 15 colonies, mine levels are only about 15 on outters, and 20ish on my main.
I guess yea that is slow :)
I'm currently working towards graviton tech lol.

So battleships, BC's, and RIPs?
+ What defences should I have if I'm trying to fleet? Light lasers and PC's and S/L Dome?

It's totally up to you, but if you are going to fleet, you don't need many defenses. As of this moment, I would just suggest spamming light lasers. And Battleships are the best attribute to a fleet, though a RIP never hurts. :D
