welcome to the forums awkemacspjg (thats hard to type
) hope you enjoy your time here.
which avatar do u want? most players go optimise since its idea is easier to grasp, blow your enemy up mainly.
so all strats start with building the conduction matrix.
the most common strat by far is 3 scubes 2 probes cos its easy to do and performs generally ok
make 4 miners at the start, 1st on tri moon, 2nd on di, 3rd on tri, 4th on di. now conduction matrix should be done, research energy nodes 1 instantly and queue up 2 probes. when CC hits 7 tell constructor to make uplink and then make a scube chassis. each time it hits 7 make another scube. u want three scubes in total. the module you put on the scube varies by what your enemy is doing, so your detector should be scouting as best it can to determine their strat.
certain strats work better in certain situations, so if your enemy is fed and spams intrepids, you make dodecahedra. read the guide for other counters.
here is the guide description of the strat, it will tell you in detail what module is best and when. there is another strat on that page called three and two which is different since it is a rush involving buying resistance is futile to get ships out fast.
