Reply to Press ctrl+f6 twice fastest to win - fix please? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I hope they do something to ease the ctrl-f6 start. It is pretty random... It effectively just makes each player start with a (significantly) different amount of credits. The changes they've described for 1.03 are pretty vague, but don't look to me to be addressing this, but rather to be addressing the exploits. Changing the starting credit/mineral mix would probably be the most straightfoward solution. Better yet, put sliders for credits / metal / crystal in the game setup screen.

Point Blank map, TEC. Rush out a Kol and immediately raid the opponent. AI generally builds a weaker capship, so you will win. The pirates can help you bomb him out. GG. 5 minute achievement lol. No research necessary ;) Did it again later on a medium map vs three AI, as TEC while doing the win-as-random, TEC civilian research and max-capship achievements. Again, Kol as mainstay, with the support and bombardment cap ships in support. That was a longer game ;)
