Middle game: not putting any armor on my BBs anyway. : |
Keeps them gate-able

Are you just building beamer BBs then? If you're building missile BBs, you're still not going to be able to gate them (unless you're IT), even without armor.
|
 Yup, close to only beamers, only missile for special purposes like shooting down bombers. Works surprisingly well, your enemies showing up with chaff and you not bringing any missiles, what a waste for them! 
Still waiting for the moment that somebody thinks: "He's not going to build any missiles at all" and than with all the excess iron I _do_ build missiles and waste my enemies fleet that is unjammed and without chaff. 
And I do have plenty of iron laying around! Shortage is bor

I don't know about you, but I find that armor per missile ratio is an important part of winning battles.

I'm bringing more BBs to the battle, since I can gather them through gates, meaning more firepower.

I suppose you could compensate by placing fewer than the maximum number of missiles on your BBs... it would be interesting to test.

Can't make a gate-able missile BB, only works with CCs (which are useless missile ships once BBs show up) or omega nubs, and the latter have also very little fire power, more like a special design and not for a main line warship.

Another factor in my thinking, I suppose, is that I will never play anything larger than Medium universes, and I strongly prefer Small. This limits the additional value of stargates once the mid-game hits and warp 10 engines arrive on the scene. Still useful, but not nearly as much as when you're playing in large or huge.
|
I also prefer the smaller games, medium is the largest I would play ... although I just finished a _huge_  but that was a teamgame and was fun for once, not to be repeated though ...
