However they have their pluses. I'm a TEC player and I find the Marza class invaluable. With three of these ships using their missile barrage attack with support of a fleet as a screening force and additional firepower I've succeeded in destroying fleets twice my size. TEC battleships are very effective for use as an anti-aircraft platform and additional firepower. It's how you use these ships in coordination with the rest of the fleet that determine your success and skill as a commander.

Capitol ships mainly play a support role to the rest of the fleet. Either aiding in firepower, bombardment of enemy planets, draining shields ect. All those special skills that aid in destroying in the enemy fleet are useless without the aid of other ships. Every fleet should be primarily made up of frigates, cruisers and support ships. A fleet made up mostly of capitol ships is destined to be annihilated. In every game I've played where an enemy used this tac they've been destroyed.

Mankind is destined for two things: self-anniliation or unification. I beleive if we are to unify we must dissolve nations entirely. To create you must destroy. That or we all die in a horrible nuclear war. As for other life, you have to know that for life to take place you need ideal conditions. Most scientists beleive that about 1% of the planets in the galaxy are suited for life and that doesn't include whatever species that might actually be intelligent life.

Actually Iraq has, or had one of the largest armies in the world. I would have to say Great Briton and Canada helped out the U.S. the most.

Yes.

Sweet, beer money.

I just a game that took me three days, mostly because I had to work and do other stuff, all in all it took about 10 hrs of gameplay. But yes, this game keeps your attention and it really does infinite replay value.

Who cares!? There both fun!

You are aware that you can ADJUST the game speed, build time, resource income, turn off pirates and all that, right? This game is an RTS-Real Time STRATEGY being the key word. Not Starcraft, WOW or a DOW lets rush em' game. If you try to rush you will be crushed in this game. Think of it like chess, consider your moves wisely and put some thought into them. If I attack this planet will it leave one of mine open to attack? Should I reinforce or not? Should I fall back or push on? Should I build m

I like to name only my capitol ships and some of my cruisers. I like to use names from Greek and Roman mythology. For my TEC Kol class battleship, always the first in my fleet I call the Aeneid, the story written by Virgil which tells of one of the survivors of Troy, Aeneas who leads other survivors to Italy and their descendants founded Rome. The other names I use are the Odyssey, the Iliad, Achilles, Hector. I also like to use names and words from the ancient Latin language.

Seems you need a different strategy. Take your time with this game, no need to rush. For instance I like to take over one planet at a time. Go in and destroy whatever resistance is there, colonize and set up the infrastructure and defenses. While I'am doing this my fleet or part of of it stays and protects the new territory until it can defend itself and then i move on. Works very well for me, don't recommend for multiplayer though.
