no idea patrikc, 25 planets disappeared. maybe they got Ace'd.

My main gripe with these stats is the uselessness of the FR fleet, but you can't have it all

Kaiba · 10 Jun 2011, 17:18

I would say those 30 xans were there for spectres and then realised it wasnt gonna be bs dominated and changed race. Thats what it looks like anyway

Paisley · 10 Jun 2011, 17:42

My Theory is some alliances going a dummy race .... wait a few days to assess the race ratio (%) and then make the final choice before the round starts / find out what other alliances are going

Kaiba · 10 Jun 2011, 18:13

I dont see what all the fuss is about cr/bs dominated rounds and so on...

Regardless of stats if 3 of the top allies decided on a certain metaclass and all played the they would own everyone anyway - FR is weakest of the classes atm but i reckon if Apprime, CT and TGV all went FR then FR players would dominate the round.

I take it the rummour I heard about apprime going zik is totally false?

(to the MoD / monroe if it starts going on an AD rather SD path I'll stop on this particular thread)

+9-4-30=-25 planets disappeared within a few hours. I'm just curious to know what happened to them.

but its easy to selfcover or get just one defence fleet to cover it.

in other words, i couldnt disagree more with you light.

If you think ST is about teamups, then what is MT about? You know, where you're required to teamup to land.

ST should be focused on solo play and making solo lands extremely viable and the most profitable route. This also tends to be why alliance HC's and DC's tend to absolutely hate ST, as it means more incoming and people getting roided by crappy little fleets (which is a good thing!).

By the looks of these stats, solo roiding will not last past the first 3 weeks.

they each have holes but extremly easy to cover and in some cases, to self cover.

You cannot self cover a hole. That is why it's a hole.

Ahh sorry missed teh point - yeh probably multi accounts or something - tho its hard to beleive the MH team is that effiecent

Paisley · 13 Jun 2011, 13:49

I had forgotten the joys of not spamming 3 ship types.

w3nnk · 26 Jun 2011, 20:03

the ships are not looking that bad atm guys and single targeting is better than last round.

well Done pa Team

Thanks w3nnk/Angry!

For those interested (like me!), here are the average numbers for planets in the top 500 (to exclude planets not actually playing):

Code:

        Size	 Score	        Value	  Xp     Number of planets (%)
Cat	564	1266106        826097    7333    123 (24.6)
Etd	607	1277093        876016    6685    64 (12.8)
Ter	583	1273848        875910    6632    99 (19.8)
Xan	710	1246818        899021    6359    100 (20)
Zik	550	1213724        819779    6566    124 (24.8)

My first reaction: what the hell is Xan doing up there? I suppose being this surprised has to do with being in a Ter based alliance and galaxy, but they're doing far better than I initially thought they would. Maybe it's because of DLR's Xans?

Cath still seem to be holding the xp trophy. Zik is actually doing quite poorly compared to what I expected, whereas Etd is doing quite a lot better (which may have to do with more skilled people picking it). Ter is Ter, they're pretty much average in all aspects. :P

Thoughts?

Mzyxptlk · 27 Jun 2011, 08:01

It's only tick 400, plenty of time for Zik to get going.
