I've always seen asteroids as a double edged sword. I think that's the right expression. On the one hand they are great early, and will help spur your rush better than any other planet can, but at the same time you get no experience for your caps with them. PLUS, they burn you late game. Getting asteroids basically BINDS you to having to rush. Little credit income. Only enough space for three buildings. Maxes out at 2500 health. They support the quick and fast rushing tempo of online play.
They absolutely suck if you have them late game. I at most want 2-3 asteorids to start a game. i actually prefer 2.I realize that games are often so fast taht you never really get the time to see the disadvantage. My point is if your rush fails and you only have asteroids, you're in a very very tough spot.

TBH I never once thought KOK was bad, despite what most think of him. I do think he's one of the better players out there. The problem is he's predictable. You know HC"s are coming. I appreciate individuality and uniqueness, but I've never seen him do something besides Kodiak rush. If he would pepper his play with variety, he's be much more feared.
