one more thing:
AR cant use the cheap starbase trick, as it only works if
there is no base... and AR always has a base...
makes them even weaker...

I wanted to go off on a tangent here, so I extracted this from another forum and began a new thread.
I don't know about weak. I always thought AR were weak because I couldn't do anything with them personally, but playing one game as the next-door neighbor of Freakyboy's AR race changed my mind. Freakyboy makes them seem powerful to me. I've never played with Apelord but Freakyboy defers to him, saying he learned everything he knows from Apelord. Apelord must be a good AR player indeed. I'm betting if I ever see Apelord's AR races I'll be inclined to crack open that darned college algebra textbook sitting dusty on my shelf (I couldn't throw it away, it costed a fortune and it's just like new), trying to make sense of all the square root garbage and trying to remember proper formula calculation sequences so I can give that AR race yet another try. I think I'll call them the SQuiRT's.
hmmmm, let's see... what the heck is a square root again? How am I supposed to figure out the shoe size of the average AR citizen without knowing what a sqare root is? Let's see, "shoe size = SQRT(toes * 10)/2"...  ...oops, wrong listing (shoes size, silly me, I want scanning capability, not shoe size), here it is right above shoe size, "SCANNING CAPABILITIES = (here we go again) SQRT(population/10)", well, forget it dammit! I'll just stick to the basics here...RESOURCE PRODUCTION = SQRT(blah blah blah times blah blah blah divided by .....) ARGH!  How about factories? Can't we just make some factories inside the starbase? Puhleeeaase? If we really REALLY want to? I can understand "every 10 factories produces x number of resources".
...
I'M NOT AN EXPERT AND I'M OFTEN PROVEN WRONG. TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN YOU READ MY POSTS.
Math? Ummm, sure!  I do FREESTYLE math.Report message to a moderator
