you have to get your resources set out straight from the beginning or you're screwed. if you don't have any energy or mass you can't build things in a good period of time at all.

(08-25-2008, 01:26 AM)Just Kartz link Wrote: I've been thinking of getting this game for awhile, althought, after the horrid experience at a random Internet Café when I tried it out (took like, 5 minutes to build something?) I kind of lost interest. I'm certain I must have done something wrong, or is the game supposed to be that slow? I heard so many good things about it, but I'm not certain wether or not to get it.. What Squishy said, you really have to manage your economy well. Usually the person who best manages their economy wins. Of course doing a proper start for your economy often leaves you open to rushes as you are trying to get up lots of power plants and matter converters/harvesters. ![[Image: samjackson-4.png]](http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j299/White_Spartan/samjackson-4.png)

Next week we'll definitely be using Forged Alliance. PM me if you need a link. Hopefully I won't have the disconnection issues with it.

Hopefully you guys get the lastest version of FA so I can play.
http://forums.gaspowered.com/viewtopic.php?t=26888 Patch 3599 is the latest version I think. Also, it only takes 5 minutes to build something if: 1. It's a high end exp units and you don't have enough resources to insta-build it 2. You suck  3. You are not assiting with multiple engineers to make it build faster 4. Your economy sucks (i.e. you are not building mass extractors at T1+T2, and no massfabs+power at T3, and you don't reclaim EVERYTHING by patrolling your engineers around the map). FA's econ is much easier to get a handle of, as things build much faster and more efficent, but it's harder to master FA's economy while it's easier to master SupCom's economy (as all you need to do there is just spam mass fabricators and you win). On the flip side SupCom's economy is very slow and cumbersome to learn compaired to FA's economy (but once you learn it it's easier to get good at it). ![[Image: a731e9e08c48b218b111e3275e851e8e.gif]](http://content.ytmnd.com/content/a/7/3/a731e9e08c48b218b111e3275e851e8e.gif)
