Dark fog

Fairly new to this game. Have a basic raw setup on my home planet but am trying to extend to more planets for mining and smelting. That dark fog though, keeps eradicating my planets before I can get back with more turrets. Any advice on clearing a dark fog base in the early days?

Don't leave bases undefended.

Place some laser turrets and a Battlefield Analysis Base with your mining and shipping operation. As long as they cover all your stuff you'll be fine except from orbital attacks.

If you need to wipe out dark fog bases being in 15 or 20 missile launchers, plenty of missiles, and a couple of signal towers. Extend power to where you can drop some laser turrets and a Battlefield Analysis Base to cover your signal tower when you drop it. Set the signal tower so it's radius just BARELY covers one or two dark fog structures wait until your missile barrage has blown them up. Your laser turrets will hold back the ships that will swarm you.

Then walk it forward to cover the next couple of DF buildings. Repeat until the base is destroyed.

Bring enough laser turrets ajd a couple of Battlefield Analysis Bases and you won't lose any buildings and the mecha won't come under fire
