GunMetalXeno used it to save his fleet against PJI. Other players in game to vouch for veracity of my statement: RandomMap, Kfear, bscompany.
Well, if you're playing against AI, how about using Z-axis and put a handful of corvettes on top of the TEC starbase? Note that this tactic against human players is not received well.

Post above this one is so ridiculous and offbase that I'll call a spade black when I see it: NICE TROLL, BUDDY, but you didn't catch me on it. I'm too smart to be sucked in to it. You'll have to troll better than that to catch me.
Lots of good advice and thinking in these first two posts. I would emphasize to keep in mind: " because I held my ground, the other team never developed the proper eco to take on our team late game...." and " stay alive, longer being alive, the more you helped your team." That is, some folks think, "God, I'm in suicide position, I need to turtle and sb." Well, with such thinking turned into action, game is now 5v4 instead of 5v5. For sure, you can expect t

Some vasari players try to send a migrator to your planets (or even HW) and set up a starbase there very early in the game. This is no problem to counter because the starbase takes forever to build on your planet (e.g., 250% longer build). So you just need to have a sizeable fleet within 2 jumps of your planet and you're fine. That means always open with bunches of corvettes (30?) or light frigates (20?) and have two frigate factories somehow nearby. That's basically a solid open for

First, 1000 posts in this thread now! I was going to quote post #1000 and offer one karma point but the post itself was hardly about the game. So, humph. [quote who="PlayerSlayer" reply="1001" id="3310437"]I guess there is also nothing wrong with doing a 'China vs'. It would be like how it was when there were various 'clan vs' matches, although all that is long dead now.[/quote] Now this is a great idea! I have played two games vs
[quote]I do know that exploits and tricks that are not in the rulebook are "trade" secrets among the best players.[/quote] Now I feel like such a loser since I know none of these. On the other hand, I feel like such a winner to know that my losses can all be ascribed to other players' exploits and tricks. In fact, I feel nearly elated. I used to just like to put the blame for my losses on poor play by my teammates.

"Just to have an opinion, too". Although it's How's list, we are calling it like a democracy and giving our opinions. I suppose some semblance of a rating system might come out of this democratic clamor since we don't have ladder. So here comes my two cents... OK, so I am going to offer the perspective of "fear factor," meaning, "Who I really don't like to have as a neighboring enemy." This list in order of How's is as follows: Auqia,&nb

[quote who="Greg30007" reply="3" id="3299232"]I don't believe it is normal. ~There were games when I was seriously out spammed by an AI after human left. [/quote] Yes, this is what i observed, too. Hence, my question. A newer player dropped and then his AI was actually quite tough. It was early in the game, and it had only 3 planets but was churning out ships at a very fast rate. A strategy by a team could be to "drop" so that the OP'd AI took over. <p

OK, my true story embarrassing confession: I forgot to put down a turret after settling a planet to take out the siege frigate. My shame is public, too.
Does anyone know the settings for an AI after a player drops? Is it a generic "normal" AI? Or is there any possibility that it is an "eco" or "aggressive" AI and/or not "normal" settings (e.g., easy or hard, etc.)?

[quote] Won't you find yourself at a disadvantage when you will need to build another Capital Ship?[/quote] As to answer, this is the wrong question. Better question: won't you find yourself at a disadantage when you don't have an extra frigate factory when enemy is raining corvettes or other such ships down on you? Greg gave the further reasoning: "You do not need to upgrade planet logistics early on when cash income is lowest." So, the capi
There are reports that "subjugation" ability of Coronata titan does not work at all, meaning that no enemy ships are ever captured. Is that true? If so, is it fixed in this patch?
Is there any information on how the diplomacy mechanics work? That is, I am playing on challenging, getting down the ideas of getting cities going, leveling my heros, and so forth. I am ready with my army for any one neighbor to declare battle. But soon all three neighbors declare war within about 10 turns. I have had this now in three games in a row. I have tried to nurture relationships by offering tribute to the other two AIs (still at peace) after a first declares w
[quote who="Howdidudothat" reply="832" id="3260091"]Candido, I liked your list enough to put it on the thread for additional consideration. One question, what does the * mean?[/quote] The "*" is meant to designate a confident calibration, meaning players I have played with a lot. Some of the players play less often than others, and for these cases I do not have a great calibration.
Howthe's ranking are probably more accurate, especially 1v1 as he states is the criterion used for the list, but I also think about team play in 5v5. This requires the individual efforts but also the global assessment of play, including some team spirit. I'd move a few players around on his list for that. As a result, my captain's guide list agrees with Howthe's list for most players but with a few differences. *A Captain's Guide* My guide to "who I choose
