/vr/ - Retro Games

play the most abusive race ever: telepathic, repulsive, unification, -50% growth on impossible in a mineral rich cluster galaxy, average tech level.
Biuld a weaponless scout and a missile cruiser plus some helper frigates or destroyers asap. Attack and mind control your neighbors asap. Rush tech to tractor beams and core waste dump, conquer the galaxy with neutron blaster + tracor beam battleships. Then techrush to core waste dumps and galactic unification, enjoy 100% production and food bonus. You will almost always win, guardian and antares are a joke with that race.
downside is: Only the first 50 turns really matter, the rest is rather tedious.
