Thoughts?

Your Borg fleet looks pretty frightening. You have attacks and drone management down. I like the use of the 2 generic BoP in the rebel fleet. They make nice stasis field caddies. Just be careful, those 3 hull cloakers can be fragile. I used 4 B'Rels in my faction pure RiF OP1. Nobody is really expecting swarms these days so when combined with the blind, I got the Kazon, and that was a lot of firepower. Your 2 stasis fields should make someone cry though. Happy hunting

Thanks for your reply, except now I face another matter altogether... Somehow, I have to find a way to play the game with people I now despise... Things got a little heated on facebook, and I said some pretty...inciteful words... Now I have to figure out how to play without speaking and without listening to them speak...

Well if it comes up, best thing to do is be the bigger person apologies for anything wrong you did shake the other person's hand and wish them good luck in the game.

That's just the thing, I didn't really do anything wrong... lol

I was ganged up on by people who don't play at our store (ever) and then I asked "Do you even play at our store?" and I was threatened with a ban from the facebook group because I was "targeting" people... How is asking "do you even play at our store?" targeting someone? I wasn't threatening anyone, I just asked a question.

Many gamers have been there before over one thing or another. People are pretty forgiving when you own up, instead of letting things escalate. It also doesn't hurt to bring snacks to a game

There you have me, I don't Facebook, so I am not familiar with their rules. But it never hurts to go in with a positive attitude and treat everyone with respect. People tend to act differently in the realm of Internet anonymity than they do in public. You may get along fine with these people in public. Just go in am be the best ambassador of the game you can be.

I'm poor, I can't afford to bring snacks, I can barely buy enough food to last me til next payday... :/

EDIT: I just realized something, the cube doesn't have very much drone regeneration... But I don't know where to move the points to allow the cube to get any...

Anyone know how to move things around and get token repopulation on both ships?

You tend to become very emotionally invested and defensively aggressive in your posting online, from what we've seen here in your posts about the borg 'nerf' for example.

If you're having difficulty affording food, then don't bring snacks, just bring a positive attitude, be the 'better man', show good sportsmanship and take a few knocks on the chin, metaphorically speaking.

Perhaps don't play with the expectation of taking home the top prize all the time, but with the idea of meeting folks, enjoying the gaming with them and having a good day out, at least until you get back on the horse from the changes and work out for yourself how the new meta is going to work.

People don't want to hang with the l33t guy who shows up, pwns and takes all the prizes and sods off again, people want to hang with the patient, friendly and decent gamer with gentlemanly conduct on the table.

With the FAQs and question answers going on, nobody seems to totally have a grip on all the changes, everything is a little up in the air, go gaming to play, meet people, chat and move tiny ships around on a table, don't play to win at all costs so you can get more tiny poorly painted plastic ships. Wargaming is a social exercise not a kickboxing championship.

But I REALLY want that B'Rel!!!

ATTA BOY!

Really?

This sounds like that "sportsmanship" crap that losers are always talking about. Bah! I don't care if people like me or hate me, because at the end of the day, I jump into my bed with all my little toy plastic prize ships and it makes me feel good.

You... you're right... I'd just been using my sportsmanship and pleasant attitude to enjoy games, popularity, be successful with the opposite sex and buy the ships I wanted off ebay with all the vast swathes of excess cash from my constant vocational promotions due to my sunny outlook, but now I see how hollow that all is. How could I never before have seen how important it is to 'roll hardcore and l33t like a playa!'. My life is suddenly bereft of meaning.

le sigh...

You both need to come off your high horses, For those of us who *can't afford* ships on ebay, we kinda have to win it to get it, otherwise, we don't get it... Period...

What is so hard to understand about that?

Wow this got off topic. We are all human PlagueLord, we make mistakes, just simply being the first to ask/give forgiveness can go a long way.. And saying your sorry can mean a lot more than snacks.

I don't play Borg so I don't know about the drone regeneration but the swarm looks good.

So, I've replaced Full Assault with a Borg Alcove on the Tac Cube, I think I have points leftover, not sure what else I should take.
