I am currently playing in a game with 2 very successfull -f SS races and would like to share some thoughts...

-f means you got more cheap tech-levels than usual, which is especially great under some circumstances, for example if no tech trade is allowed and everyone needs to research everything on his own, and even more if there are no MT giving tech away which also helps.

One more thing... as -f you usually have a lot more planets than the enemy. A common tactics of mine is, when being attacked, you dont defend but instead start killing the enemy planets. Being SS and -f means you can do much more harm to him than he is able to do to you. This does not make you win, but it makes the other guy not win Smile

And one last thing: if the game is a "no ally game" then the IS will not be able to trade their tachyons, which is good for SS in general... not only -f.

Oh and even one more thing:
-f SS use to have good el-tech early because they want that baron scanner. This means they will have battle-nexi very early. this means that there is a BB time where -f SS tend to have those "shoot first" BBs much earlier than enybody else, and the can afford to build those 7 nexi BBs because they have plenty of G which most factory builders dont. So... in games where there are not enough plantes that people can research nubians quickly, a -f SS has a long long time within the BB area with a nice advantage of those "shooting first and you cant counter it" BBs.
