anyone else notice...
the extreme lack of Metal roids in the universe atm...
guess it must be something to do with the initiation process and the way we started, but i can't seem to get more m roids than C roids..
yes it means i'm damm good for scanning, but it's a pain in the arse having this left over crystal all the time. Must be damn nice for Ziks though..

i've got a ton of sents already, they're a fairly crappy C sink, especially considering that the pulsar is better

Any ziks who have a lot of spare C must be operating a scan planet as well as their main planet, otherwise they'd be spening a lot on their scans.

By some fluke I managed to hit on the exact roid ratio I needed as terran. Those pegs are an absolutely perfect crystal sink heh.

if you got too much C, try deleting your scan planet and doing your scans yourselve.

Xans main target is other Xans though, and a xan trying to roid a cath is surely stupid?

still, Xans are practically eta 5 attack fleets, and you're relying on gal and para/cluster then, I still think Xan is a good choice

T3 all
you must be a really co heavy xan searching for caths with few spids and BW then without getting most of your fleet frozen and easily covered with a bit of in gal trading (your roaches for a xans vsharraks or something)

sents are more useful, for example a cath cr fleet would laugh at your pulsars whilst your sents inflict damage.
There are also way too many E roids about, I have about 800k stocked already, its stupid

T3 all, so? Who cares. You can watch your sents random fire around like crazy, while my pulsars actually kill fr/de effectively. And as far as cruisers, all xans have sents. You cant avoid them. But overbuilding them when you could build better ships is a mistake.
As far as xans roiding caths, when it comes down to your argument based on nothing and actually having watched xans roid caths. Im going to have to side with reality. Sorry.

I am zik and have almost equally amount of m and c roids. The c I have extra I use for scans and it really aint that much.
Of course Cutters takes most of my m but clippers are very good in using up my c

I agree that as a xand it's not a bad idea targetting caths.
This is due to choosing bomber instead of arrows for the CO flak.
pulsar > sents. Firepower of sents seems not fitting to the xan race, sucks. Other than being a C synk and the T3 All, I don't like sents much but seems at this point we have no choice but to build them.

The T1-CO apparently works, a xan with lots of pulsars instead make me smile when i pick target.

I don't see why people say pulsars > sents or sent > pulsars. Just build them both Pulsars get rid of the fr/de and the sents can kill the larger stuff

Lots of wyverns this will mean. I am always saving up from 1700 till 0500 and then i build wyverns for the next day
At 1300 I build pegs
At 1700 i build chimeras and pods
in between i build some harpies.
(Score boost between 0300 and 0500)++;

Atm i've found myself in a bit of an M shortage too, but that's cos all my M goes into Tarants (and mantis pods), with remaining C going into Spiders for alliance defence. Yes, i'll be building Guardians soon
Contrary to popular belief, Tarants are snappy enough to be of use in para (!!). really ruins a Terran's day
My view on Sentinel/Pulsars, is that Pulsars are superior when targeting FR and DE, but Sentinels are a neccesary evil - they are a hell of alot better than C floating around in storage and very useful for defending against CR caths (as i have found out :\).
Sentinels have their uses. Pulsars are a better ship.
