Well, so far I have yet to play a game with a RS race. Call me a right-wing conservative, but I like my missile BBs to be loaded down with armor as well as shields, just in case the bad guy gets through my chaff and they have to take a hit or two. Those big hosses is slower than molasses in January anyways. I will take a bit of armor off if it means the difference between 3/4 and 1 on the battle board, although I sometimes wonder if that 1/4 move makes that big a difference.
But why are we discussing BBs anyway? I always was under the impression that RS gives the greatest benefit in the early and late game eras, unless you are a WM and have the hulls to fully exploit RS. I usually play SS, or that has been my predominant choice in the past, and I have never seen where taking RS gives a standard SS any real benefit, "standard" being more clearly defined as being either a factory using HG or HP designed to go to war in the mid to late stages of a game.
Now, if I were to play a -f SS, then I would most likely take RS because of the benefits derived from early attack when playing any -f race.
I do not believe, however, that RS is always advantageous. I believe it is advantageous depending on conditions and race design.
For what it's worth,
