something i played with the other day was having LOTS of small bases with no defences. you can abandonthem when they get attacked and not lose too much and still stay very functional.

it was just a 30min piss about, would be interesting to see if you could finish the game without defeind any of your bases.

Sounds like my picket approach: 1 hanger, 1 living quaters, 2 stores, and a radar :P

Why waste time on defenses when you can have 18 free heavy plasmas and boosted stats every time they attack you? [/b][/quote]
I took the loss once when a battleship squashed a nascent expansion base a month or two into the game, but after that I had enough troops stationed around that I rolled out the welcome mat for more battleships... that never came. I mean, wtf, I never attack battleships headed towards my staffed bases anymore, but they never land.
