As a few of you that still fight may know, im pretty much a stacker, i slug my guts out attempting to build a stack that may or may not work. I dont profess that im good or even average, but when u spend 15 minutes building a stack to 3 mil pr, and have another 2 stacks of it to go, and it takes 2 seconds for some guard n00b to pop out of DP and spam you with a classic li, ruby, tourm piece of dogs wallop, just whats the point? Do you want me to revert to spamming? because i can do that just as well you know. But then, wheres the fun in that? Its whoever can spam the most. Yes i know that peeps above say 10mil pr never stack, and have good reason really, the cost is out of this world, but really, honestly, if you cant be bothered to stack just dont attack me ;)
What ive meant to say was, there is something seriously wrong with this game if after spending 300 turns i lose, compared to spending 30 turns to spam. Perhaps adding in the 10% bonus to stackers on one ship, or somethign along those lines to "try" and limit spammers would be useful? Just my angry warblings again....

99+ day(s) ago | the spaming on this game is so much worse than Uc.. i run into gaurd spammers on here all the time , in fact most battles i fight against people, i run into spammers.
Its not even worth it to stack... in fact ive pretty much devoted myself to spamming out of fustration. Alot of you guys say gc is al about stacking. Well it seems its all about spamming!!!!! |

99+ day(s) ago | Five stacks isn`t spam. If you must call it something, it`s a half spam. In reality, it`s known as the best type of attacking stack in GC. |

99+ day(s) ago | i had forgotten about ur attacks from back when we were at war drunken. Now dont get me wrong, im not picking on u alone :P in fact im not picking on u at all really, but when u spammed me with coll ships the other day i was slightly ticked off... |

99+ day(s) ago | As many of you know, i`m a guard and has so far mainly resorted to spamming the usual guard spam. It`s easy enough to win when attacking but winning on defensive with the spam is another story.
Since the guard update, i`ve begun to stack instead of spam. Still trying to figure out the "best" stacks against various situations but that is what takes time. Guard stacking gives high PR quite fast compared to guard spamming. A regular guard spam will get 1.2 mill PR with 45 turns, a guard stack (no or few neutrals) will get 4.5 mill PR with 45 turns... Although greater range on the Ruby and Tourmaline would be nice, i like them the way they are. In a stack, they are not overpowered. |

99+ day(s) ago | and in general there are 2 types of fleets:
1) winning
2) loosing
if I am choosing between spending 40 turns and building fleet that wins 3 cols and spending 120-150 turns to do the same, believe me, I WILL spam. |
DrunkenMasters
99+ day(s) ago | And how many times I have hit you assassin? I can`t remember exactly, but it was once or twice o.O And yes, you were distemper, I used fed war advantage and used probably 4-5 stacks (is that spam?) And I hit you at low PR not using all my advantage, where I had 250k PR, you had 80k, knowing you had balanced. And that I used normal with 3-4 stacks and won 3 cols using 150-60% at 1.3-1.6 mil PR doesn`t mean I am spammer, does it. Oh, and I recieved hate PM right after being just another crab viral around. But looking at my battles overall (excluding n00b hunting) I am not spamming(maybe from times to times yes, but in 80% of the times I am not). And if someone tells me he never ever spammed I will laugh at his face, including you. Got my point? |
AssassinatorS
99+ day(s) ago | Yup. for instance the only times Drunken has attacked me, its with a spam, and there he is preaching about stacking. HA. Well, unlucky GC, im going spammer again. |

99+ day(s) ago | Spammers do suck overall, granted i wont say i`ve never spammed, but when you look at this way, when a spammer attacks you, you know exactly what they will have when you jump out to retal them, you can even will from half pr, if a stacker were to hit you, then they have 7-10 different stacks to throw in any order
thats the only reason spamming doesnt bother me, its easy to beat ^_^ |

99+ day(s) ago | I hear you AssassinatorS :S
It seems like there really isn`t any point to doing much stacking... spams are the way to go o.O |
Rafale
99+ day(s) ago | honestly spamming attacks usually win more then stacks but the price they pay is that they might not get more then 1-2 planets yup
so yeah ^_^ i think spamming on attacks is the best and half spam stacking on defense is the best yup |
DrunkenMasters
99+ day(s) ago | and with the new classes guard has even more spamming ships |
DrunkenMasters
99+ day(s) ago | and there is no rule against using 3 , 5 or 7 equal stacks.
About guards, I told it early: nerf ruby/tourm`s hull and damage and increase their range to make guards stack. Most of the answers were: nooooooo; h3ll n0; do everything else but don`t touch li, ruby, tourm; ruby and tourm aren`t overpowered ( aren`t they?) etc. |
DrunkenMasters
99+ day(s) ago | but spamming is part of the game, isn`t it? |
