actually, it's more like the lack of gates is a killer KO for me.

If you do go -f HE in a non-duel game, you'll have a good run till 2450 or so, but post 2450, you really have to think 5 turns ahead and have a good intel system to make sure you don't get flanked or have a marauding enemy fleet going through your system.
Ofc, you can counter it by allying with someone and using his gates, set up at convenient locations.

Hmmm... I think I'll go with -f or as a 2nd choice, low HG.

(ps - why use 2450 as a breakpoint? Simply because you should be dominating the starting phase or 2420-2450 by getting 3 times the area that your neighbor has. If you are having problems in 2435, then no real point playing a -f).



I know my minefields.. but I'm a chaff sweeper.
I used to curse when I got stuck in traffic... till I realised I AM traffic.
