it really depends on your style and the players you have. you can do well not buying enh cons/enh miners at all if you play your cards right (good op placement is probably the most important factor), and then there is the whole scaled bombing issue. one bomber in a small game can do heavy damage for factions that rely on a small number of bases (ic, dreg), ie, if you are unlucky or your players suck, a starting op con loss for IC is a very strong blow... you'll probably not recover if the other commander knows what he is doing. about 'what to go', the rule of thumb in small games is go what you know your players can fly.

You command to your faction strengths and your team strengths

1. Buy Enh Con
2. Put Ops next to their miners
3. Go Exp
4. Keep buying ops

I was wondering if anyone can throw me some pointers on what to go vs every faction with IC?

Sure, no problem.

Bios - exp. Push cons in their face. Bomb early.Giga - most factions would go sup here, but $#@! it, you're IC. Go exp.Dreg - exp. rush their miners, dreg starves to death.TF - exp. Once they realize you have mini2, they will give up bombing. Victory!IC - they're going to go exp, so you better too.Belters - go exp, smash an HTT into their techbase before they even get adv tech.Rix - is there any question? exp.

QUOTE I have a general knowledge with IC command but I want to improve it. Also would like to know when to get Enh Con and Enh Miners.[/quote]

You'll need enh con if the only U rock is in their home. Forget enh miners, their ships will be too busy dying to heavy ints for them to bother attacking them.

Go Exp. If you really want to do something else, get a tac, then an exp.
but get an exp.

Brute force. Exp maybe flavoured with tac.

Punch them in the face and take their stuff.

Thanks, this was helpful

As for the rest of you, and you know who you are. Thanks, but I was looking for specific tactics per faction, not no brainer strategies.
