Yes, Yes I am testing the race now...
I am NOT STUPID and know perfectly well that a -m race of conventional design doesn't stand a chance. But who said that I designed a conventional -m race? I designed an -f mineless race! Laughing
You won't BELIVE how many RC pts I had to play with. Very Happy
It's not that I could spend them on mines or factories anywhere..
But anyway 1 in 3 hab with immunity allows you to expand explosively and because distances between different habbitable colonies are usually just 1 turn and there is a space dock on every world and you have IFE... well I could grow exponentially very for a long time using limited res. Combine that with cheap weapons, con, electronics and normal energy and combine THAT with the 16 fac/10000 pop so I could inc my res output conquering... Well you've got a killer race. I had the economic power to build destroyers with 2 phasers and a ram by 2424 non-AccBBs! Twisted Evil hehe...
I agree that AI are lousy but my AI's are on tough and besides Human players depend on their freighters to balance their pop.
It takes one(!) armed probe to destroy any given freighter. And cathing something with the speed of 1.5 is not exactly easy. Twisted Evil
Since I am a WM, blowing you to pieces is never a problem. How good are your chances to even BUILD phaser basooka CC's when virtually all of you freighters are destroyed by 2430+?
(With the starbases going next). And how good are your chances to get past Battle Cruisers with superior weapons AND cloaked 80% and scouts with elec 10 scanners to destroy my vulnerable remote miners? Well there is going to be no diplomacy in this game. Twisted Evil
in 2424 remote miners cost 6.25 res/mine. There should always be a freighter with some troops in it and some patrol ships to guard aginst intruders to the mining worlds. I never bothered to test this race in the sterile lab conditions, casuse this race is designed to grow through conquest, where are the opponents in the lab game?



In the Future there is only WAR...
Therefore our extinction is assured, it is just a matter of where and when.
