Preferred Openers for Expansion

from Sins Forums

I'm really anxious to learn what other players like to open with. As TEC, I always open with 1 Akkan/10 Light Frigates. Lately though I've been looking at a force of 1 Akkan/10 LF with 10 LRM frigates added one or two wells later. My thinking is, use the Akkan to draw heat and, once siege frigates are eliminated, capture the planet, use the light frigates to help deliver a beating, and in a separate group, LRM frigates deliver better damage to stronger, priority targets (e.g., heavy cruisers).

I also start with civilian research to research volcanic and ice worlds, unlock modular architecture, and increase metal and crystal gathering. The modular architecture only saves 100 credits when building extractors and other structures, but when you consider how many extractors you build while expanding, that 100 adds up. I have friends who focus more on military research so they can quickly unlock star bases and other ship types.

Before expanding on my post, I should have waited. This is my first failed post. Woot!

No its ok, just theres not much to it right now. For TEC I get the terran planet upgrade after Modular Architecture. Also its ok we all have fail post sometimes.
