How to counter when in the AI fleet
The lair itself is easily destroyed, but the three random dire guardians that then emerge from it aren't. A sizeable army positioned in range of the lair is advised, but some nasty combinations of guardians can ruin even a homeworld-ready army (like a widow, a shield and a hard-hitting guardians). A beachhead with powerful turrets (MkV are nice) can greatly soften the fight. As lairs are permanently alerted when an adjacent planet is taken by humans, using that supply for a beachhead might be a good idea.
Also, the three guardians are picked upon destruction of the lair. Players can save just before destroying it and reload if the combination doesn't fit them. However, this is nearly a bug-abuse and might be considered cheating.
