This was a quick, violent battle on Theta Passage. I enjoyed it, and it was fairly evenly matched before he made a number of strategic mistakes.

I havent watched it yet, but something struck my sensibles eyes:
QUOTE
-Built mass storage way way way to early. Storage costs more than a hydro plant and there is really no benefit to it until t3.

My opinion differs on this.

T1 Mass Storage next to T2 Extr
massincome: +0.75
mass: 160 ( 213.3 per +1 Mass )
energy: 1200 ( 1600 per +1 Mass )

T2 Extractor Upgrade:
massincome: +4
mass: 900 ( 225 per +1 Mass )
energy: 5400 ( 1350 per +1 Mass )

So an adjacent MS is cheaper in mass, but more expensive in energy. Plus having a bigger massbuffer is quite valuable for those nonpro Players like me. I typicallay take 2 engies to upgrade a T1-Mex and queue up MS around it, works quite good for me biggrin.gif

Problem is, he built them surrounding the t1 away from his base, early in the game...the cost to build them that early is not worth the +1 extra mass you get from them, that mass is better spent building another factory or spamming more units...come back later and build them when its worth doing and you have a stable eco set up, and build them near your base not on the border mex's first.

Sure, I'll use them once I've upgraded 2 to T2 sometimes, but you must have more than one T2 Mex for the expense to be worth it. Then again, you can just go for a T2 PGen then go mass fab. Usually it's a T3 thing, I agree.

I usually don't start building mass storage until I have at least one T3 mex and 2-3 T2 extractors. I like to build ONE along with my first T2 extractor though- the efficiency boost is nice and the storage makes upgrading more extractors during periods of extra mass income easier.
