You thought we had it in the bag? High praise - I thought we lost ever since the only Exp rock on star was in their home!
Also on high starting money/medium total OH SHOULD get dual adv tech. Hell they had heavy ints up around 11 minutes, but lucky for us were confined mostly to that op for most of us until they just boosted 10 heavy ints to camp tps for bombing after deprobing with pulse.
The buff to killer2 combined with the massive nerfs made to SY for whatever reason (smaller game size I'm guessing) probably makes tac the best way to kill caps now unless you have bases extremely close to the aleph. Regardless 15k + 18k+ 24k + cost of each ship (4k for cruisers iirc) is so costly for what you get now SY is no longer a viable option for a 15 vs 15 game!

yeah rock gods were def on our side that game. I'm curious why you decided to go drydock instead of adv tac spidey, was surprised by that tbh. I get that u need something to fend off ints with, but u should have had enough firepower with lrm2 & camping corvs to defend vs int pushes long enough to get sbs out.

HAIL TO THE KING!
I was quite useless this match but it was amazing to be a part of anyways. Nothing was clicking for me this game. I was even screwing up my killer launches at the caps. Ugh!
I second what Bucket said. We all thought advanced tac was a sure thing instead of cruiser rushes. I mean, it almost worked but still. I'm also surprised, with the effectiveness of Killers, that you didn't attempt a Kummy Maneuver. And yes, I know you are going to say WTF is that but I came up with it damnit!

Your damn SF was smothering me all game long. I can't count how many times I got foiled by you and got angry. Damn you Paps!

I don't wanna. I guess Pook stopped hosting my epic signature and I don't think it is saved anywhere

Worked fine when my glorious cavalry @ELEM trounced @XEXY.
With half as many cruisers.
Things aren't like Community Core anymore when you completely removed counters to capital ships for pilot sized craft, Spider.
Now mass cruisers aren't an instant win button, boohoo.
