Could not find much info in the manual about this ship.
I had used it in my Fleet1.
My fleet 1 has created nano virus: 200 class1,20 class 2 and 2 class 3 in the enemy fleet.
When my fleet2 attacks, the nano virus in the enemy fleet destroy my ship
Don't you think this is very anoying. Am I helping the emeny to defend itself with my nano virus?
How to use the nano virus to score points??

the nano virus didnt destroy your ship.
the plague ship has self destruction so you have to have a good plan in using them.

like the mines of the mine deployer the virusses are only effective in small numbers. if there are too many between the enemy ships then they only destroy themselves by accident.

although the virusses are better than mines because they explode in a bit like a cascade reaction: if a nano virus exploded the enemy keeps the initiative and the next of his ships gets its turn, this means, you do not shoot at the nano viruses so your fleet keeps its effectiveness

I dont think the plague ship has self destruct does it? I thought the virus's did.
@Limsky I think if you have another look at the br you will see that the virus's destroyed enemy ships.

oh yes, you are right, it does not self destruct only the viruses do.

If I send a fleet of plague to attack the enemy, I may lost points in the first contact. What about the after effect when the nano virus destroy some ships. Will I get the points??

they are hard enough to use without an anti ship I think, but u can get rid of the virus's easy enough provided u dont have another battle. You just recycle them.

your fleet was only a 1.1.1.1 fleet.

the subbattles breaks up after your fighter, destroyer,cruiser is gone and nothing more happens.

to have more fun with nano-viruses you need a bigger fleet, else the battle is too short to have them deal serios damage

Loosing 10 plague ships cost me 1400 points.
What is the composition of my fleet to get back the 1400 pts (at least)?
Do U think 1000 class 1, 100 class 2 and 10 class 3 is enough?

I don't have much experience with them as I can't build them but I think you should
-> not use them in too large numbers. Like 10 plague ships are too many, there will be more nano viruses than other ships this way which will make them destroy other viruses (as already said)
-> send a balanced fleets as a second one, maybe one that could almost destroy the enemy fleet in a fight without viruses. In this case it would be about 700 fighters, 30 destroyers and maybe 15-20 cruisers.

The plague Ship emits a carrierwave ...
there will be 100 class 1, 10 class 2 and one class 3 nano virusses in the enemy fleet.

Is it possible to change the plague, that i can say in which class the nano virusses are.

The plague will have 3 points, which i can use for every class.
This means i can use the plague normally 1/1/1.
But for better using i maybe would use the plague as 1/2/0.
Than i have 100 virusses in class 1, 20 virusses in class 2 and no virusses in class 3.

Maybe we can name this ship as advanced plague ship with more MP. The strategic value will be better, because you can use the plague in different situations better.

what happends if you send against an enemy base(without ships); first a fleet with 17 plague ships and then a fleet with a doomstar?
will you win 1780 points?
does the nano virus has a mp value, so that when you destroy it you win points?

No. The viruses themselves do not have mp.

The only points you can get from them is what they destroy of the enemy's.
