Thanks bunches, my little spy buddy! Sorry to put you on the spot. I like full tech games once in a while...they give a bit of relief from KOTH style games where you don't often get a chance to "play with ALL the toys" .

I would say I do OK at them. But it's always a creepy feeling playing them. Scary!

There are at least 2 players out there who like this sort of game...Parabolize and Primitive. I haven't checked their combination in ranking but I suspect THEY could be a possibility.

Maybe the Ice Colony was his problem and slowed his expansion. But I'm sure that my better Aggressiveness/Defensiveness + Propulsion Experts gave me an advantage and I used it.

More updates to do . I had better get busy!

I will take any open spot if you let me but my rating is ~991

Have another update: Geo vs PD, turn 56 or so. I surrender..ship tech was on parity, but Geoschmo moved fast enough to get most of the quadrent and beat me to a critical choke point.

I held him off for a while, and even drove him out of the choke briefly, but some boarding ships and a few sneaky tricks won the day.

First time I've had a reason to successfully deply Planetary Napalm, though. And on turn 50 there was a very strange moment: two ships, both armed with DUCs. One mine one his. They killed each other..in SE4's combat system, how is that even possible?!

Ah, I was wonderign why no more turns.

The reason both ships were destroyed was simple. My ship was set to capture your ship, and your ship had a SDD. That's how SDD is supposed to work.

All you need is a partner with enough points to add up to a total of around 2100 points. I'm not going to quibble if you get close to the 20-point difference .

Geoschmo [/QB]

I thought I had sent enough turns in for the surrender to go through? Guess not.

Looking at the replay, it didn't seem like they were close enough to board. Hmm.

How about you find any partner with a 4-digit score? That should give you some room .

Anybody with a rating of 1000 or more want to play a high tech team game on my side (Slynky and Alneyan the other side)?
