[quote]So... it's not an RTS at all. There's no time-pressure, no "strategic elements" (ie: resource management). Just units shooting at each other. It's OK for you to like it, but that doesn't mean that there's something wrong with real RTS's. Without the time pressure of having 5 things to do and the time to do 2 of them, it just isn't an RTS.

Well, I was proving a point too. That your example is how to use ALL of your your tools defence wise to create great defence. We who dont complain have figured this out awhile ago. Most people want starbases to be build and forget. But thats not how it works. They should be build and forget IF you give them support I.E. weapon platformsm hangers, etc etc etc. Then where the starbase cant defend you mine it.

[quote]If I was to defend a planet with billions of people, I would set up a starbase in the west, mine the crap out of the the other directions, set up many gun emplacements throughout the gravity well, place multiple hanger defenses to fill the area with fighters and bombers, and laugh when someone is foolish enough to try an invasion.[/quote] Wow, a perfect idea. Why hasn't anyone else thought of this.....OH WAIT, we have! We can add another great thinker to our grou
