Correct. Thats why i like other PRTs. I do not like to rely strategically on allies.

An HE without allies tends to be a tight empire. You don't have the mobillity, but you also don't have as many places to protect either, your core is more isolated.

You want to be ecconomically stronger to compensate for the lack of mobillity, the opposite of an SS who can get by with less.

Lack of gates has an advantage, less threatening. I am faced with several opponents, the nearby enemy HE worlds are seen as the least threat as no gate can pop up.

The HE is often an end game power... and a larger game is more likely to have more endgame. That helps compensate for the horrible mobillity. So do flux capacitors.

But back to Metamorphs... you have lots of slots, not so much armour. So you sometimes want to use inexpensive stuff that uses more slots. For example battle computers rather than super computers, or 35% cloaks rather than 55% cloaks.

And since you can't always win a 'biggest fleet' type contest, you may want to think about Mao style war (which cloaked metamorphs can help). Be content to sometimes slow down rather than destroy the enemy super fleet and try to cause as much damage as possible over the rest of the warfront. A few suprise minefields (to cut off enemy reinforcements), a suprise gate takedown, a little sniping, these are some of the things metamorphs excel at (with the right team of other ships to help).
