Exception to this....

AR - sure the energy tech you get will generally mean your sheilds are better than your armour - so it's a definate bonus... but your precious starbases are less well defended... bit of a bad thing.



Well, you can look at this from another angle: your starbase will die _anyway_ it just means that with regen shields the base will suck up a little less missile fire, but that only means that just a little more of the AR chaff gets killed ... This is assuming the enemy will attack with his full force, if he is only attacking with suicide ships than you are making it a little easier for him ...
Next to that keep in mind that AR tend to reach nubs before other races (except the economic monsters maybe) so RS becomes even more attractive for them since they will be the first to benefit from the effect in the last era ...

"Thanks" to the kill starbase order an AR should trust on his ships and not on his starbases to win a battle, and most important like any other race a starbase is useless when you are on the offensive ...

regards,
mch
