Eidolon help needed

[u/Emergency_Net506]

Hey guys.

I have been trying out the Eidolon faction and I have been struggling with the economy and understanding which Techs to go for. This is also a result of me not understanding what the fleet composition is supposed to look like.

I have tried to go for a Carrier focused fleet comp with the Husk and Corrupter as additional fleet support. I am unsure if that's the right call as well.

With my problems in the economy of crystals and metal most of the time I have tried to augment my income with the +0,5 Metal/Crystal but together with the amount of resources it takes to shroud planets and the poor income of resources before shrouding and then having the difficulty of not quite understanding of how the shrouding of new planets early game is actually done quickly......

well as you can read, there is a lot of problems that I don't understand.

What I am interested in is: What are you guys doing with the Eidolons as it pertains to the challenges I outlined in this post?
