Only problem for the HE is that he has no gates.


And that's a huge disadvantage. It says a lot about the power of the QS-HE that this design can overcome this disadvantage.

It also defines the necessary strategy against QS-HEs: grab initiative, focus your power through gates, strike where you want to (and the HE is unprepared), if necessary change the theater of action (with gates you can, the HE is much slower to do so). Be fast because the longer you linger at one point in space, the stronger the HE gets there through constant incoming reinforcements.


And perhaps we should stop to forbid the QS-HE in games but take up the challenge and develop counter-designs, -strategies and -tactics. Everything else is, IMHO, like first inventing cavalry, cannons or tanks and then trying to exclude them from war because we don't like to change our ways of waging war.
