Even then, it's free points, just not as many!

They be free points. Nuff said.

I take PS down -50%. Also I have only lost one ground combat ever since then. The design is also important with troops. Shields give troops an edge in combat. Not to mention the extra points are nice!

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

Combine this in medium or large troops with some weapons and a shield and a shield re generator and you almost never lose.

It can be useful to capture enemy planets instead of destroying them - just be careful when attacking to limit damage to removing enemy WP etc and not damage the facilities as if you capture the planet with facilities in tact it can be an immediate boost saving you having to rebuild faciities.

I like to capture enemy research labs and mining planets first. - SPace yards should be captured first in each system so the AI cannot rebuild defensive ships in that system. The spaceport is usually on the SY planet - i seperate them in each system. Another thing is to capture enemy colony ships with boarding parties - access to othre 2 colony types once you anaysise it and of course you can also then reuse them to settle youre systems.

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.
