imo, one way to handle tf...
- spend six months nanning aarm's miners
-hit voicechats ~ck & ~nk.
- push 1st tele, use miner(s) for home rip.
- pray somebody finds lb1.
- invest a little at a time in bbrs 'til ur sure u don't need 'em and don't be afraid to not finish 'em... if u don't need 'em then it's wasted cash and distracting. this goes long way to making tf less weak at start.
- if finish bbrs and are able to offense, bomb thru opponent's mining first unless there's obvious better target. Know when to stop, keep in mind long bbr camps are good for tf. if boxed in before tech base up make bbr d con to rock then bomb close sector without docking if uncontested and uncamped.
- get tech up, play cautious while waiting for enh tech, if outteched at enh defend til adv (big jump from enh should give u edge)
...highly recommend practicing solo one-team dry run in separate server before trying off-peak hours, then try peak-hours.
...as far as knowing when team or com skill is reason, just work on it 'til none of the nay-sayers is sayin' it was ur fault 'cuz they'll stop saying "'nay"if you do it right enough times for them to notice (...though, that may take a while, in which case you can make a list of all the misplaced "'nay"-ers:)).
thread lock, engage!
