I'm afraid I'm gonna have to disagree with you, Turb. My "default" PRT when I don't feel like playing anything else is PP. In the games I have played PP (that haven't folded sooner for other reasons), I have lasted into the endgame era and been able to not only hold my own, but stay on the offensive. It's not the PRT, it's how well you play it. I still hold with the belief that HE are truly the weakest race overall, for no other reason than the lack of Stargates and half-size planetary populations. Stargates are a necessity in the endgame.
PP really come into their own in the BB era, when you can first generate the firepower to take out a Starbase quickly and protect LBU bombers to knock out planetary defenses. I usually find my quickest expansion takes place shortly after getting Capital Ship weaponry and LBUs.

Very expensive. Only race that starts with less points in race wizard is the IT. You can't get over 100 points for NAS. Have to give up OBRM to get enough minerals for packets or take costly high mining efficiency. Have to take energy cheap. All these cost extra points other races can better use. PP has no fancy toys to trade with others.

Lasting into the endgame era is not in itself a sign of a strong race. For example: you could be in last place in the end game era, and not have a snowball's chance of winning. It's not how long you make it but how you make it long. Rolling Eyes

Please press "Prt Scrn" and send snapshots of victories with PP race. Cool

HE on the other hand is no slouch. The most negative thing about HE is the lack of gates, which is no big deal if you make one ally with gates. How many games do you wi
