99+ day(s) ago | On Fast I`ve begun stacking more and more, there are specific ways to stack that will make your fleet more effective against spammers who hit you. I`ve spammed plenty in the past. I just get lazy sometimes. I won`t complain about spams |

99+ day(s) ago | anyone can spam. just take one good ship and put 9 dummy stacks behind it. any newb can do it. there is no stratagy.
it takes skill to stack and basically what spamming has become is for lazy people. stephen needs to implement his anti spamming program on GC.
every stack that is not within 10% of the stack befor it takes a -10% to hull, weapon etc and it is clumlutive. so if you have 1 big stack and 9 dummy stack one takes -90% and the rest are usually withing power of each other so don`t take a -
if you stack 2 close together and 4 dummy stack 1 takes -40%, stack 2 -40%,
if you go with only one stack you take no - |

99+ day(s) ago | i know only one good reason to spam. to economise. one spam to [somewhat] rule them all. takes less turns and money [esp. with ryus] if you spam.
however, it is unreasonable if you don`t do it just to spend less turns/cash. alas, people rarely think |

99+ day(s) ago | Just nerf maru upkeep for virals. End of story.
you too must also bury your head every time i speak to you , as stated a million times a fair few directly at you , one cannot edit upkeep for reversed ships without editting that of the ship itself , meaning maru would suffer more and become a completely pointless race

99+ day(s) ago | bah spamming costs less, uses less minerals overall and you can climb PR faster, and is especially true with the viral race, especially since the "nerfing"
but i understand that you all need something to complain about :p |

99+ day(s) ago | I`m guessing the last ***update*** was made on capital ships , and nerf them a bit , so that people don`t spam .
as we can see that hasn`t been sucessfull , as people continues to spam ...
will admins continue to nerf ships , or ... return to old values ? and admit that spamming is a tactic like the others ?
and that admins also can be wrong ? or will hide the head in the land and don`t admit nothing and let things as they are ?
your entire post proved you had your head burried during the nerf and dont have a clue what your talking about , stated a million times nerfing the build rates was not to stop spam , merely balance it out alot more than it was , and has that worked ? yes. ( exception of G cor and L emerald that ive been asking to drop the build rate on since months ago and been ignored )

99+ day(s) ago | People spam cause SPAMMING IS A TACTIC
there`s still some skill involved in spamming, even though it is just a puny amount of skill, there`s still some skill involved none the less...
You must know what to spam, when to spam, and how to spam...
for example, spams are often more effective on careful etc etc etc
of course, spammers still drool.... stacking RULEZ... but yeah, spamming is, unfortunately, gonna be a very real part of GC:RT |
