Hi!

Okay, I am now in a position to field the first Nubians

Oh, and everyone has BET.

BET somewhat changes AMP nub design (much higher bora demand), but OTOH your HE has probably quite high mine eff. Anyway I wouldn't spend too much bora on AMPs. IMO it would be wise to look for alternatives: BMC (additional bonus against lots of tokens) as the main beamer, and high init&speed megaD+sapper design (chaff-shredder, last-line hitter, sapper...) as the main support. I'd also wait for jammer-30 before building nubs in numbers. Your heavy IS-10 as a main engine doesn't allow successfull usage of R1 Streaming pulverizer (not guaranteed to move last). Maybe use QJ-5 and OTs to get enough battle speed with that design?

Despite the gateability is not an issue with the missile nub, I'd still suggest using less missiles. 2 slots of Arm, 2 slots of jammers-30, 2-3 slots of BSC, 2 slots shields, enough OTs to get speed 2.5, rest deflectors. Gives more defense for used iron. And it is the last design, no mods thereafter. Stacks big time, doesn't fire first, but who cares for that with so much defenses on it?! Thumbs Up

BTW I wouldn't build beamer nubs in numbers until I see nubs of other teams. With the (predictedly) intense usage of BMC I'd also suggest keeping the number of designs low. So you start with the design that will be usable even after they show up (megaD+sapper?), build just enough of them to get the upper hand over existing BBs/DNs, and use them ASAP. If you destroy just 10% of their planets with them, will that make you win more than 10% easier.

It's hard to predict how the game will proceed, but IMO you're in quite good situation: first to get nubs, lots of minerals to build them. Just make sure you'll not have those minerals stolen by the SS. Shocked

BR, Iztok
