Why can`t a lot of vets stack

indeed i use spam sometimes against some players its only way to beat them for instance had a battle up in normal around 6 mill pr spammed with bors around 3000 i knew he have them but i had over 10 stacks a tactic should be used if u lose some stacks others can come and replace them so i was at disadvantage if i had only 10 stack spam i lost that battle but won the counter attack fwith him 3 mill higher lol

one of the reasons a "vet" might have close to a 1:1 win/loss ratio is because many of them are avid UW fighters, or also because of the race they spend the most time as. Take me for example. I have 5k+ battles under my belt, usually with around 700 more wins than I have losses. I`ve spent the majority of my time playing as a.miner. It`s well known, that even a really good a.miner can spend many days battling with only a 50% win ratio for the day (if they`re not newb hunring of course). Also, my ratio has a lot of losses in it because I will fight any and all UW`s from any PR. Which means I spend a lot of time building a quick 25 turns of strafez, hitting, and then waiting for my turns again. I`ve had days where I`ve racked up over 100 losses just fighting a UW.

So I guess my point here is that stats can be deceiving...

I`d just like to make that comment that if you don`t like the RT server`s lack of minerals/targets check out another server like Normal or Fast! The slow turn generation might make u think twice but go ahead and give it a try - we actually come out of dp for longer than 5 secs! =)

Spaceman doesnt need to be on that long to moniter your power.

Spaceman knows all.

By the way spaceman, any chance you wanna rejoin us in Tempest?

anyway, stack doesnt mean u can win alot... check my empire info and u should understood it LOL

oh well, i m just a newb... that`s y i lose a lot.. bah...

ive never seen you above 1mil pr and so what vets are you talking about?

personally i let my stats go. i don`t really care about doing much on rt anymore. it`s just plain and simple too boring there. no one leaves dp much anymore. the game is more abuot who can actually get minerals from the market. and with all the spam going on when others do come out ie. guardian ruby/torm/li/xe spam that`s increadbly hard to defend against why would i bother trying. hell if you look at my gc/rt account it`s been active since dec 03 yet i`ve had very very few battles in the last year. if i had a reason to come out to fight i just may

to be a veteran you had to have lived through something some time ago like ww2 veterans or disco age veterans (ok thats not really one but you get the point) so technecally it depends what type of veteran, if its an update veteran yes if its a uw veteran you can be pretty young (though there hasnt been a uw in a while on rt) BUT to be a pro at this game you don`t have to be an old empire

Im talking about the rt server which has pretty much began to bore me with all the so called veteran players that think that just because your from 03 or 04 means you know more about the game, Alls it means is that you`ve had an account longer then most people, What makes you a vet to me is a strong win to loss ratio, age and most importainly a person that can form stacks that work and not just spam two or three ships togather with seven other stacks that don`t do anything, also spams are simple enough to beat while stacking, alls you need is effective no retal ships that cover most of the attacks which can defeat most spams, Also i love when anyone spams me at my or near my power because there easy to beat,

depends on the server

the game is mostly spam now. usually takes spam to beat spam. easiest way to put it
