But who is the joker selecting SD? Confused


Oh, that's me. Just because I think that SD is one of the mighiest races in the game (if played well of course). So, if I have the possibility, I'll destroy them as soon as possible.

I don't understand why someone would vote for WM - they are strong in the beginning and quite weak in the end. So, if he doesn't threaten you, I don't see a reason to attack him, unless you are simply much stronger than him (but then, the PRT doesn't really matter any more)
WM has no mine fields (okay, he can trade for them), weak defenses (later in the game) and chaff that can be easily countered (they are too fast and get into range of Gatling Guns in the first round). So, you just have to wait Disco and kill him easily in the end game... 2 Guns

I'm just curious with what and how do you attack SD early?
We 10 is nearly needed, as we 8 would not allow to sweep mines as fast as they are laid.
En 6 is needed to take hits.
Con 9 is needed for cruisers, whose base armor is sufficient for mine exploisions.
Sounds like we 10,en 6, con 9, not very early, but of course question was about who to attack first, not neccesarily early.

Its just that, when i would make a vote about which PRT is most difficult to attack early, then i guess SD has a good chance to be first, because fighting minefields with FF, DD or CR can be nasty without decent armor and shields. And the mine dets do not get stronger like armor and hulls with tech development, so attacking SD later sounds better to me.
