Organic armour can be helpful if you play a ground based invasion strategy. It re generates points and negates a certain damange level.

Specialty armors don't work on units. Neither do shield regenerators.

i agree with stealing colony ships, do it mad crazy.

in fact, i think ship stealing could be nerfed a little, because i mad steal ships and then take a 40 ship fleet of some poor bastard AI and beating his own self up with them.

Bone try that in a PBW game and see how far that will get you.

This strat has allowed me to get half way up "The Hill" but I'm still yet to wear the Crown.

would love to! i have not played PBW ever. i was reading that thread today with Slynky and somebody about a PBW game they are in, sounds like so much friggin' fun.

i hope someday soon i have the time to do it. i have played so many hours against the AI i'm probably terrible in a real match of wits.

ship stealing is well accounted for by most PBW players?

well, a self-destruct device pretty much rules it out, don't it?

Ship capture only works (on PBW) when it comes as a surprise. It�s too easy to defend against, and the tactic is getting so well known now that many players (me included) puts up the defences automatically.

That said; it�s an important part of a combined arms strategy, together with mines, fighters (or missiles) and stealth armor (Could also put engine destroyers and shield depleters in this Category).

Keep your enemy confused and constantly reconfiguring his ships to counter different threats and fleets and you are halfway to victory

You really should try PBW sometimes. It does not have to take a lot of time, but it requires that you can put in time on a regular basis. Some games require making turns every day, but there are also games that only requires one turn a week.
