Hi!
Some more thoughts:
- About the only advantage and AR has in early game is good early resources, which usually result in good early techs. But if you're hit with a bad planet draw, you'll not be able to get better tech to fight with it more "metal" other players can mine to throw at you.
- As an early defense Docks work quite fine, until opponent(s) start fielding CCs. At that time you'll need to upgrade Docks to Ultra Stations. If you don't or can't, expect heavy losses.
- Despite you get 50% discount on upgraded (identical) items when changing the type of an orbital (and 50% discount on items on orbitals overall), is upgrading a fully equipped Dock to identically equipped Ultra Station quite an expensive task, in minerals and in resources. Make sure you have minerals there or en-route before you start an upgrade.
BR, Iztok
