i did notice how weak the bugs actually are today, i thought they had strength and strength in numbers, but now i see they r really kinda **** :

Yeah they are pants but they cost **** all and can ram

the build speed and strenght makes them formidable foes against any adversary, not to mention the ram ability, which can reak havoc amongst enemy forces.

a big minus is the supply cost though

Yeah i dont get how people try and say any of the fed ships counter the bops that early in the game cause i know for a fact you Will not HAvE Norways that early with plasma coil i can get my bops quicker than your norways

How many times has it ever happened that a fed player was owned when he was rushed by just 1 player?? You are in advantage when defending and sabres are great for just that and if you'r gonna rush feds expect them to have at least the same number of ships u have and they can fire at you from FAR FAR AWAY.
Basically all of you are seriously underestimating the feds (same happened when u overestimated the Breen Battleships ). Yes feds arent so good early on, but they are not so helpless as some of you might lead people to believe. Its total crap and u all know it.
Usually when a fed player was raped early on was either because:
-more players attacking him at once, now if 3 guys rush u, u're gonna be ****** and i dont care what race u are. That is if your allies dont help u quickly ^_^

-Beacuse the fed player was too slow, now this simply isnt the ship fault but everyone knows its easiest to blame it on the ships if your not good

-Because the fed player tried to rush with sabres. Now they just arent designed for that and if you do it and then die, dont go blaming it on the ship.

Thats what I think anyway.



Now to anwser your post adil, no u can not make norways fast enough. But if you first make like 8 sabres and then go on Norways, you should be fine IMO.

Dont make any mistake, Im not saying the feds are good early on, in fact I think they are worst of all races. BUT the things some of you are saying makes people think that feds are just worthless pieces of sh|t and not worth playing with cause its "obvious" your gonna loose with them

Barron be honest as it stands right now the only people who can counter the bop Rush Effectively are Cube, you and Mark and maybe dan

thats all

the bop rush is so deadily because the sabre range is negated early on because of the cloak , you know it i know it

and dont lie and say u would have the grid cause you cant have it out that fast

the fact is that there is a huge void between player skill here.

some players still DONT get the fact that resources are the KEY to this ******* game, stopping ur opponent getting more than u is VITAL.

Yesterday in the 3v3 (baron, cube and mark vs me, frodo, smoer) the game was over as soon as frodo and smoer let cube and mark hold the spare resources...

me and baron both stood off the resources between us, he destroyed my cons. and i destroyed his...

until people understand HOW to play this game, there is no point discussing balancing to do with feds, because unless ur with one of the people 4of11 mentioned, u will get wasted almost right away.
