Default Re: Overall Strategy and Massive Confusion

These namign strategies are great, i used the remnaming of the ships to great effect in tricking an enemy into thinking i had a plauge ship heading his way (bubonic) and had at least 3 more wiating (0004) and have done similar with my fleets, it doesn't hurt to change the numbers alittle to confuse them. but what happens when your queue runs into that number along the way? i guess it would just skip it. The note taking is smart, i have started that for all my PBW games, (AI isn't enough of a challenge that i need it, i can afford to screw up a little). and BeeDee10, does the enemy get to see your class designation? Going through neutral humans to spread disinformation is also a great tactic. another great trick is to make transport/colonizers with deeper purposes, means a lot of wasted effort on storage components but few will trouble with what appears to be a simple pop transport (can even back that up with a name...) and then their system goes up in smoke as the start of an intergalactic war. (was a pop deal previously).
