Hi!

My mistake. I had in mind "very late", max tech actually. I'm currently in the "100 turn forced gen game", where most of the players will have tech maxxed, and plenty of minerals. For such game condition I've been wondering what makes more sense: NAS or no NAS.

But more OCs to cloak fleets in space. You have the point here though.
Quote: | You seriously say that people build fully filled peerless nubs? Never seen one.

That was meant as max POSSIBLE. No wonder you haven't seen it, is expensive as hell, and does only one thing. But facing LOTS of cloaked fleets, from LOTS of planets very close, how would you play?

Hi!

1) someone delivers exactly what is needed to win it.
2) hes in my team.

I did a pair dozens of testbeds . Most with advanced scanners. The benefit of them is they get instant scan on close planets after the 100 turns, and that's what I missed the most with races with NAS. Those needed to invest lots in scouts, just to find out what and who is in their neighborhood.
Anyway I agree with your pro-IS arguments. It is the close second PRT I'd chose for this game. Only the fourth strongest, but with pen-scanners, gates, tachions and speed-bumps immediattely, and orgy a bit later, the best ally anybody could wish.
