I think this race might even do OK in a duel with a HG race, but I don't think I want to test that theory right now Wink

I'd be happy to oblige when my current game finishes.

Your score looks very reasonable, 11k at 2438.
It is around 2440 that HPs start to really take off.

Remember that, by definition, a HP race is one that gets the most capacity out of a given area of space. That is it's ace card. It outproduces other races, eventually.
If any other given race cannot beat it for speed (at some time in the early game) then that race is not really competitive.
HGs, -f and QS would all grow faster over the first 30 years.

That is generally why people do not play HPs in 1 v 1 duels !



Hehe, yeah, I don't *really* think my HP would do that well against an HG... Well not an aggressive one, anyway...

If you like the resources, then take a look at the universe we were playing in - small normal. In a denser universe (more typical for duel, I think) then the resources would have been substantially higher. Ramp up was accelerating at 2438 and was still well under capacity.

I was very pleased with the early performance I got out of this race, I'd be tempted to take something very similar into a multiplayer (although I did swear of 1in2500 after my slow start in one of my current games... That said I'm now ranked first there, so it paid off eventually... Smile)
