At first when I tried it I thought to myself WTF am I doing. However I have somehow found out how to get my V-13s out while the AI is still at cruisers. I only did this once. However, I'd like to know if it is a good thing and if so what are the positive and negative side effects. If you'd like, I'll tell you how I did it.

Construction Plan:
I started out with my usual. I got one of my constructors to build a mining station at the starting dilithium moon. Meanwhile the other was building the first shipyard. And my starbase was building 4 miners. Upon completion of the shipyard I went to begin the ship research (1st research center) facility. The shipyard had 4 bugs and a Breen Cruiser Proto in its que. The one that finished the mining immediately went for building a mining center on the starting tritanium moon.
Once the first research center was built I immediately made another yard. By now I had my 4 extra miners filling the 3-per-moon slots. I for some reason made another constructor. The 2nd yard had 4 bugs in its cue and the Bomber proto. I sent one of my constructors to expand to one of the expansions for supply. However once I got there I made another dilithium facility. I by now purchased a supply expansion. And then I was back in business. I rushed to construction of my large yard thanks to a whole lot more dilithium than tritanium coming in. And then I put 2 T-15s and the V-13 Proto right in the cue when finished.
After some combat experience with my first T-15 being destroyed. I canceled the Bomber Proto and the 2nd T-15 and got the V-13 Proto out. I then started making a few of these to attack expansions with.
I dunno if all my choices were good. But I found an interesting strategy that could be useful. Dominion players, maybe you should try this. And see if your opponents start complaining.
