Yep I think something that cost me pretty hard was a bit of indecision there when I realized the Sabers were getting piecemealed.
I moved to Monsoons to put some faster ships with nuking strikes on the board, but knew that Intrepids were technically a better counter. Ah well ... I didn't expect the Sabers to fail so hard so I was a bit thrown off
. I agree with you, Myles on the notion that I prolly should not have mixed the Mons and Intrepids as the Intrepids won't tank and make use of their passive.
Ohhhhh well.

Well it was a long game...
Would like to explain a few things why i did, during the game.
First mistake was the dode, idea was it to deploy it to the main trit mining, while making a diversionary attack on the main dilithium mining, but that yard and mining in the midle surprised me since i was expecting the second constructor to be in enemy base. First was up right expansion. That midle yard had me worried, and because i was thinking about it (stick with original plan or not) it didnt get deployed in time and got destroyed.
Since early borg units cant repair fast enough i cant push with probes dodes and scubes and hit the midle with the proxy yard where he can easily repair so i had to fall back. If i concetrate on dodes which are great conter for intrepids, he can easily switch on moonsons to counter me, (plus dodes are buged) so i need spheres, but intrepids take some damage before they get destroyed and e2 in the back mixed with warp ins can easily destroy borg, so i had to fall to defensive.
Warp ins are great against borg. Why? beacuse borg lacks numbers, and warp ins give you numbers, if you dont lose them you dont lose supply. so with a bit of micro spheres will fall easily, or borg will have to fall back to main base ,so you can take out his expansion. 10 free ships make a punch, lots of firepower.
Then came supply and trit issues, basicly it came to raiding with remaing scubes, and louring hall under my nexus. to take extra damage. If you have extra resources and no supply, build the research station allways. once you research everything you need, you can decomision it, to get some resources back.
Why no diamond or aditional spheres? spheres can absorb lot of damage but i cant do enough damage
against adai intrepids, to take them out in time before i get destroyed. Diamond doesnt regenerate fast enough plus nanites will help but you cant deploy them in time everywhere it is nesesary. Just too many units for one diamond with 3 spheres and nanites to handle in my opinion.
So only a cube is left, and to hide a node so he cant see it being constructed. Basicly all my efforts were to survive until the cube. Well you saw how that first cube got critticly low on hitpoints, and it had nanites, imagine what would happen to a diamond with nanites.
So then i had to raid using nanites and nebulas to keep him busy before i lose my conduction matrix so i can hide additional nodes to deploy units. well one survived which gave me the second cube.
I knew that he probably had mining up right but without scouting i dont know where he is. So i must stay close to nebulas. Thats why i attacked main trit mining so often.
I was going to finish this at the end but hall got unpatient. i was geting in possiton, i wanted to have the nebulas in the back just in case. I know the power of 2 cubes, although i dont know the amount of units he had. i was going to finish it, i cant build anymore units so i have to. i got in postion, didnt i?
P.S. great commentating guys, maybe you should do more triple commentating. More commentators longer the game
and guys every cube costs at least 2000 trit, and i had 1700, so second cube wasnt about being tactical, it was about getting any kind of cube.

It looks like whatever form he happened to type had an error. People don't usually hit 'Enter' mid-sentence on multiple occasions.
Don't be rude

Timmy's post looked fine to me
Awesome game though guys, and awesome commentary, so funny to listen to lol. 50 million Breen cruisers would be scary to see though....
