[quote]superior neutral grabbing would make them a freakin powerhouse[/quote] Yeah, I had #1 fleet and #1 econ. I had trade up and teching 2nd fleet supply in about 10-15 min. It was pretty rediculous.

General rule of thumb, spamming "refineries" is the worst tactic in the game. Only if you have a sweet, sweet planet, would you put refineries. Astax had such an awesome spot last night, but that only means you put 4 at that planet and no more. Trade on the other hand...yeah, that stacks until the cows come home. BTW, Astax, for the record, that was the most awesome planet setup I ever saw for refineries: 1 dessert connected to 4 gas giants with 3 extractors each.<

So you know uncolonized planets get an extractor rate of 0.13/sec right? Well, apparently, your allies planets are total crap, and they suck at extracting resources, because their extractors are showing 0.13/sec after they colonize the world and build extractors. Now, you maybe thinking this is a planet with low allegiance, but you can check any planet, including a HW, and it's still 0.13/sec. Also, if your ally techs up resource extraction, it's still stuck showing 0.13/sec

[quote] It's fun to have twice your ally's income when they have twice your number of planets, even without double stacking trade ports. [/quote] Then you enemy doesn't know how to get an economy running properly.

[quote]For long and big battle you would also want to add in subverters as well about 20 again. 10 on sheild disruption and 10 on distortion field. And of course the more micro you can do the stronger they will make your fleet. But havign 20 with 10 doing each one thing only it limits the need for micro by a huge leap.[/quote] Eh...only if you are playing someone who isn't spamming carriers. Subverters are near worthess against a carrier fleet, except if the player is kiting the

[quote]-Overpowered. You can't be serious...? And how does that fix it? It makes no sense from any standpoint to give the Vasari stacking repair bays but no one else, [/quote] Um, well, it would cost both research cost and additional tactical slots to get a stacking affect. In addition, even 2 stacked still equals Advent and less than TEC fully teched up. Heck, with Horoshikos, you would need 4 Vasari repair bays stacking to get the same level of repair as TEC get.

[quote]I've noticed the DT guys haven't been using their clan profile as much lately.... How humerous- the death of DT by a thousand cuts...

[quote who="Howdidudothat" reply="14" id="2101282"] Thanks for clearing it up for me. Honestly though, I don't even look at other people's records. I have yet to play with someone who blows me away with their skill and I have played with two or three people on this list already.[/quote] Edit: what I typed would have revealed my secret smurf.

[quote]I guess Elrosh just wanted to play out it out. I have been known to get ornery sometimes and not want to throw in the towel either, especially when people are annoying me. He crushed Zoomers fleet a couple times because Zoomers was focusing on the nice big squishy Kol. (Was that Zoomers? I noticed at some point Zoomers seemed to be an AI, but missed when it happened.)[/quote] Yeah, about mid way through, ZOOMERS said he had to go, and left about 2 minutes later.

Honestly, I think TEC is the best race. However, I still play Vasari because of the early econ boost and the fact that I almost cry when I see a teammate pass up neutrals. If I knew another teammate could grab those neutrals like I can, I would be TEC 100% of the time.

Ok, since I was asked: Here is a replay. As you can see, Elrosh should have quit after both his allies left. Instead, he made me waste 2 hours of my life, even though we asked him to quit so we could start a new game. http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/8/7/2039910/AutoRecord-03131830.record

If I told, then your clan's skill level would go down, so it wouldn't help your clan any. If Siddy want's to divulge his smurf, then I'll let him, but I won't. I'll give you a hint, it starts with [IE]
