I think you've all got me wrong.

I love AR. I'd love to play it more.

I'm mearly trying this -fm idea which is alot less than most of you. Play it, try it, THEN slate it if you have to.

Stars! could do with a few new ideas and this is one. Don't be so quick to throw it to one side.

You're all comparing this to an AR race, I believe -FM was originally going to be a race that could compete with -F CA's. Ok so it's not... not even close, but it has some valid design points that are worth looking into a little more than most of you will.

Sure it's not as good at mining as JOAT or AR, but it's still better than most races. The weakest point of this race is resources... I'm shocked that you're not picking that apart left right and centre - instead your concentrating on minerals!!!

-f works for most PRT's
HP works for all prt's bar maybe AR and HE
HG works for ALL prt's
Hybrids work for all prt's.
-fm works for IT and thats about it really.

It's not my preffered race design, it still wouldn't play it in a real game just for the MM nightmare. But it's worth looking at, maybe someone with more skill/time than me can truely get the best out of it.

And all starbases are weak - regardless of everything. Yeah armageddon BB's are expensive... but chaff isn't.

4x32 armaggedon missiles from a DS. Thats 128 chaff per volley from the DS... thats 512 resources of chaff per volley... a DS should drop after 1 maybe 2 volleys. It's a huge problem with stars... maybe starbase chaff might be a good idea? lots of little orbital forts or something Smile
