HE are easy as mittens to invade too.

An IS breeder fleet will be laughing all the way.

Until your breader fleet meets a small pack of Metas built to kill freighters (higher init than BB, few missles for the kill, high movement, no defences). *bam* One big, expensive resource down the tube, with the HE laughing as your big fleet was halted in their tracks. Meta morph is the perfect ship for killing your enemies' anti-planet ships (freighters, bombers).

Suddenly, even with a superior force, you can't kill his worlds fast enough to _hurt_ him.

Huuhgh? Metamorph with higher initiative than BB? What do you mean? And also, have you seen well defended superfreighters? They get good shielding and can jam quite well too. And the IS knows that his ships are precious. The escort will have a high initiative, anti-suicide design. He will probably use the same tactic as with bombers: don't expose them until the orbit is secured. You kill the starbase and orbiting ships and lay a minefield, then you can go into destroying the planet. And a well played IS always keep a good stock of flying orgies, he won't expose his only weapon to be destroyed in one shot.

How should we say that MM are Sad

BAD

warships?

Now to be back at Freakyboy comment, yes it's true that HE planets are easy to invade, however, there are many of them and they colonize like crazy. Can you invade faster than they can retake their worlds? (or are you letting all this population on those reds to prevent that?) Keeping all those planets defended against recolonization can seriously divide your offensive capabilities. Just a thought.

HE's have been for several years the killer race, just look at the old posts on the Newsgroup. Everybody feared them and at some point nobody wanted to play them because it was shooting season Who me? I'm a saint

when they were discovere
