Default Re: Another SP game

Most people know some tricks to rapidly conquer the AI -- example, stay on their good side until you can get phased polaron beams, then ruin their ships before they get to phased shields.

That works so well, it feels like cheating. Even works on low bonus. I'm playing TDM medium bonus now, and they might have phased shields already by the time I get PPB.

I would try large bonus, but I would probably find it depressing.

[EDIT]
They sure get the point defence early don't they. A couple of missile platforms usually provide some defence, now you need massed platforms to have a chance.
