If you think one on one a QS always has the edge... explain the comments from mlaub. It doesn't sound like his NF is winning through mainly diplomacy, or because the others are all beginners.

No, he is dead on in his assessments. I wouldn't use my -f IS in anything smaller than a medium, probably not even that. After testing, I knew that it was viable simply because of the universe size, and distance from starting HW's. It is difficult to mount an effective attack early on, especially with a race designed "exclusively" for surviving to the endgame.

The game I am in is a Huge. While I was *the* tech leader throughout the current game, I would have been hard pressed to defend or attack before Y30-35. Just not enough resources, or metal. A -f IT would have been a lot better, earlier, and a -f CA better yet, they are still no match for a QS, though. You really need to be on the recieving end of one to understand. I personally have never lost to a QS, but that is due mainly to my knowledge of them, my normal race selection or just plain luck. I almost always run HG econ models on all races, except HE's and -f's (ofc).

The shortest, and toughest fight I ever had, was against a QS WM in a medium with 10 players. Imagine having 100+ destroyers show up at your secondary HW with bombers, running a PP, at Y14, IIRC... I was impressed! and more than a bit worried, till my scout hit his HW, and I launched every bit of metal I could lay my hands on at his HW. At Y2419, he was unofficially out of the game (he still had ships), as he had no more colonists. I got lucky.
