New player struggling

[Growltigga]

Andy, defending wormholes is probably the best defense

And again I would make the point that if you are playing ANY Version of the AI, I would consider it unsporting to use mass warp point defence against them, same reason I wouldn't use fighters or mines - it makes it far too easy

Now against humans, anything goes

Now, just to prove that I have no friends whatsoever (my excuse is that I find it hard to find opponents of my calibre!!) - I currently have a game going where I am playing 2 empires. The game is based in a meld of the Starfire/Startrek universes and I have renamed stacks of components to provide a more Starfire feel. The point of this is purely for me to fight two different play styles at once and Andy, I reccomend you give this a go as I have found it very useful for finetuning my designs

Eg one empire is the Solar Federation,a human empire who build a combined arms fleet with a broadly equal match between missile armed and beam armed vessels -

the other empire is the Khanate of Orion, these boys build weird designs and every vessel has fighters

the punch ups have an interesting flavour to them
