I've been around the Stars! community a long time, but I have been gone for about 5 years. Just before I left, the -f design was something new and racy. Jason Cawley used a -f IS to win in a previous iteration of Stone Age Slaughter, a game I hosted over 5 years ago.

I've noticed since returning that -f is all the rage. It is the new race design "fad" for Stars. But this is nothing new. Early in Stars history, the 4% HE was considered the pinnacle of unbeatable designs. After that, Scott Phelps published an article on how a 19% HG JOAT could stomp the 4% HE in a duel. A duel was done, and Scott was proven correct. After that, HG became the design status-quo. Presently, -f seems to be wearing the beauty crown. Many advantages, few disadvantages.

So, I thought it was time to write a basic article with some ideas on how to defeat the -f next door. I don't expect to know all on the subject, just want to start a sharing of ideas. I would encourage any and all ideas on the subject to be posted and discussed. Should be fun!

My ideas in the next post....
