The war goes "well". We have finally beaten back the original onslaught and destroyed their super weapon and are now currently re conquering lost colonies and exterminating the shak scum we find there. We lost two whole worlds to the super weapon.

We warped our most powerful fleet (FP 20K) to their homeworld but had to retreat almost immediately (luckily with little loss) as their was some kind of device which both scattered my ships on warp exit, and prevented their weapons from firing. Our AG friends were not so lucky.

........

Any ideas on what did this and how to counter it, as I need to get that HW popped before the monies run out, yes we have beaten them back so far, but the treasury is now empty.

Gravity Well Projector in Shakturi Spaceport scatters your fleet.
Solution is build your own Gravity well projecting Carriers warping them in the system,support these carrier with big cruisers and loads of fast frigates,and few Capital ships.Shakturi ships are fast,but they are only beatable if you replicate their designs.
fast frigates are needed like
2 Meridian Shields
1 Hyperfusion reactor
4 Titan Beams
2 Plasma thunderbolt
you get my point ,just build a sleak ship with less firepower fast as hell.they will hit and and run.hehe create a ruckus in the system.

The Gravity Well doesn't prevent your ships from firing, it just pulls them out of Warp out of range.

To attack the planet you have to continue in at cruise speed, so it can get pretty hairy if the Shakturi have nearby ships to call in.
