We have a claim in a different thread that Armistice can be made permanent with as few as three Akkans recycling the ability. Furthermore, the theory goes, doing this can effectively make you invincible.
However, right now that claim is theoretical. We have had only one attempt mentioned, and that failed.
Deadlyshoe has seen a potential problem with an in-game ability. Since we have access to that ability, we do not need to wait until the other races come out to look at it in detail.
It's up to us as beta-testers to try and attain invincibility through perma-armistice (or any other means). While this would be easier to test in multiplayer with a cooperative human opponent, for now tests against the AI will do.
So now I'd like to ask all interested beta testers (I'll be trying it myself) to do the following:
1. Devise your setup. Whether it be a bottleneck in concert with other units or just defending your home planet, decide how you are going to attain your invincible status through the use of Armistice.
2. Attain your setup. Work quickly to put your Akkans and any support units into play as fast as possible. The theory goes that permanent invincibility can be achieved with as few as three Akkans, but feel free to use more. While setting up, try and leave the opposing teams as strong as possible - the bigger the fleets and resources they can send at you, the better.
3. Let them come. Once your invincible setup is attained, put it to work by not building any more ships or structures. If you can hold out indefinitely against the AI, then you have done well.
4. Come post the results. Tell us about your setup and why it worked or failed, so other beta testers can try different methods and learn from our own mistakes.
