The main advantage about rix sbs imo is the facility at which they can get upgrades. They can get everything they need just by going exp as a secondary tech. They get their pod upgrades in tac while other factions needs a sup for ab2/3. Other factions gets their damage GA in sup(missile) while rix can get those with an exp. Going exp also allows rix to get the Sig GA, which is pretty good. If all factions could get AB2 in tac and missile damage GA in exp, I think other sbs would be much more popular.

With equal tech, I'd choose a bios sb over a rix sb.

A bios SB with ab2, missile damage GA, HC2 and sig GA 1 is, imo, a much better base killer than a rix sb with equivalent tech . Also, save the HC2, this is generally the level of tech that rix gets for cheap, but that bios will rarely manage to get. Bios sbs with HC2 can shoot 2 or 3 missiles uneyed and usually a 4th before getting killed. With ab2 and high KB, they can solo tech bases. Also, unlike rix sbs, their missiles are hard to be shoot down.

IC sbs must not be overlooked. Give them HC2 and their energy bonus combined with their missile bonus can make them deadly sbs.

Rix. I solo'd a starbase under the watchful eyes of 2 hvy scouts today. When everyone went to d the tac dying to 3 sbs, I solo'd the starbase and someone else solo'd(I think) the Adv Exp. You couldn't get 5 sbs of any other faction pulling that off under hvy scouts and hvy ints. Bios could get in, but they'd still need 8-10 sbs to pull it off, and that's exponentially harder to coordinate.

*coughbull@#(!cough*

rix is awesome (esp if you get an exp, but i'm not sure this poll counts that)

TF used to be awesome, not quite so good now, but you can still pod any scouts that find you with your ab cannon.

noone mentioned bios std/hvy bombers, guess you haven't seed singod in one then...

The best thing I suppose about TF Stealth Bombing is that they can use sfs to drop tp's to rip in stealth bombers which as we all know rip in ridiculously fast by being TF, and then once they hit the base rip out also ridiculously fast.

Rix sfs can also drop tps.

Well, IB, all I can say is the 25 or so people on my team can attest to it. neotoxin was in sector and watching while I did it. So, with all due respect, F and U.

i think he was talking about the 'harder than' issue

8-10 bios sbs bull@#(! you moron
