For the purposes of this thread, let's make the assumption that it is incredibly boring to drive 10 minutes to the nearest warpgate and then 10 minutes back to refill a base. We'll call it a necessary evil and if you want to debate the merits of the system,
go contribute to the proper thread for it.
Now, here's my best guesstimate on the way to run an ant squad. You start with a Galaxy pilot and three gunners (suprised? this is my thread, afterall). Add two MAXes and an ANT driver in the bay. Escort the Galaxy with a mosquito and a pair of reavers to fill out the rest of your squad.
Now you let the non-critical supply missions fall to others and you punch through to the bases that really need you. Not only will they be thankful every time you make it through, but you will quickly make a name for your group in your empire. I bet you'll have fun doing it, and you have room to deliver 6 reserve infantry to whichever base needs them.
So how would you build an ANT squad, assuming that they are needed for continued operations.
