Is it possible to build multiple SGSes and put them on hold in the same system all in queues 1 turn from completion? I was thinking of doing this in my AI game so I can scrap the SGS, open warp point to attack, close warp point behind me, and unhold another SSG so its ready by next turn. Does this strategic use of SGSes make sense?


This is a common tactic on PBW. Not the most reputable thing to do, but it does work.
Its also very costly but done more than one will like to admit.

Okay, I won't explore this tactic if it is not a good thing to do (as being an exploit). I sure do not know much about what is frowned upon. I sure hope I do not do anything like this. Is there a thread that lists things that are not good practices? I guess such a thread would be both good and bad. It would help those that are naive about such things and it would be bad in that it would give others ideas whom have no qualms about how they win or play. I do not know much concerning SEIV ethics since I have not played multiplayer games much at all. I realize there should be ethics, since war in general has ethics too(even though some people choose not to follow them, or are oblivious to them).
