So.. I only play vs AI, and not once, ever, have I used an envoy or diplomacy other since the Diplomacy expansion. I have started offering missions in Rebellion to put added pressure on someone I'm going after, but that's it. Am I missing out?
Aww now I'm sad to read this. I just started a 3 star, 8 player FFA map last night (me vs AI) and got Advent Loyalists. I don't really do the multiplayer thing since I don't have the time for it.. hopefully I don't get screwed over by being AL. ;)
[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="3" id="3174360"]In a lot of ways, you should really think of them as a new race, not just a subfaction as you're right, they do play very differently. But in all reality, Strip-Rushing is a very OP tactic right now because it is actually very easy to rush to Shipboard Labs at which point, research tiers become moot.

So, I'm a bit conflicted about the Vasari Loyalists. I love playing as Vasari.. but I never just up and abandon a planet. With their specific abilities and research trees, it sounds like they want to what, hold one or two planets (to build ships from) then just colonize and consume new planets? That just sounds like such a radically different playstyle than I'm used to. Am I overthinking this, or thinking wrong?
Is there a place either online, or in a PDF where I can view the tech trees? I'd love to be able to look them over outside of the game, while I'm at work or out and on my iPad.
