When to build scouts - and how many?

Hi!

While tweaking the races before our 12-player-large-dense-universe-game "Masters of the Universe" (don't remind me of He-Man...) begins, a few questions have arised.

I had (mhm...still have) a discussion about when to build scouts. Since knowledge is power in Stars! and early and consequent scouting is IMHO a key to success there are many scouts to be built in the early years.

While I autobuild factories and sit tight on my HW I always build one scout a year to send away. My colleague (still working in a hospital while I spend my time at my desk in my own practice Wink

) prefers to build only factories for about 5 years and the a swarm of scouts (maybe 5 or 6) in one year.

I wonder which method will bring more profit over time. Don't forget, it's a large universe with distant player positions. Assume that we both play no -f race.

What do you think?

Cheers,
fab

P.S. Happy Nikolaus! Very Happy
