Greetings Commanders,
I have a passel of new tricks, features, exploits, and cheats to unload, and this set seems like the most fun.

1) Ian (Traceroute) showed me that a player can have bombers set to depopulate an enemy planet in the next year, AND have waypoint zero orders to drop colonist without any loss. This saves you a colonising ship, and there are no enemy colonists or defences operated to diminish your occupation force.
Good Luck,
NH



You also stand to gain tech this way.

Not quite sure if the 3rd method will work... perhaps I didn't understand it completely.

Method 4 - in team games, double player (team) bombing runs.
Cleans out planets in a single year (without letting the enemy rebuild their defences) even if the higher numbered ally isn't taking advantage of his lower numbered ally's smart bombs or bunker buster bombs.

ps - YMMV? something to do with micro-mgmt?

I used to curse when I got stuck in traffic... till I realised I AM traffic.
