Your first combat tech for MP?

from Sins Forums
I was wondering what combat techs people go for, I find that by the time my cap ship is in its first fight with a human I already have 2 upgrades in the green HP tech. Giving me 10% health and repair rates.

If they are really unlucky I also have the armor upgrade... was wondering what other people go for?

Perhaps the lasers?

I usually take 2 in Fighters and 1 in Missile to start with, and usually with Militia it gains one more level before I take it up against an enemy player, and the 4th point goes in Embargo

Same here. It looses me a little combat potential, but I think it gains me more flexibility / early raid nastiness. (If the map is large enough / set up so I'm not getting to a home world soon, sometimes I"ll change my pattern).

From there I generally hit fighters, max out sattelite, then get manufacturing (somewhere around level 8?) then clean up embargo.

Never bother with embargo; the early raid technique just doesn't appeal to me, at least in that sense, its hard and risky and akin to rushing (though not in a deragatory way its hard enough to pull off that I respect it)

I also go 2 missiles up front as it produces more DPS, and cannot be countered by flak burst. I upgrade missiles and fighters most before I pick anything else... my second sova might have embargo...

Notably I have been finding myself with Sova, Kol, Sova Sova. Yeah.... they kick ass.

More like exactly

But it can be oh so rewarding It's not necessarily a 'rushing' thing, but a 'set your opponent back' thing. Especially if you manage to distract his fleets somewhere else, you only need a few ships at his homeworld to get him to curse you, since most people don't build any meaningful defenses there

true; i'm not arguing its validity of a tactic. I just don't LIKE to play it myself... I should give it another shot or two though.

Marza all the way

(well the first thing they say IS "need something destroyed?")


...

anyway...

the first combat tech I go for is repair, lasers, and HP.
