It's a game of strategy, misdirection and paranoia, not 'wall in and build the death star'.

Ugh.  FFA should never be a Turtle match.  It should be blended.  Static and Fleet defenses to hold your base, raiders that also serve as scouts finding and eliminating targets of opportunity (as well as figuring out where everything is exactly), leading to the launch of a skirmish fleet to test defenses and distract while the assault forces are prepared.

When FFA devolves to turtle contests, somethings wrong.  It's a game of strategy, misdirection and paranoia, not 'wall in and build the death star'.

Depends, if two of the others are double teaming the other guy, sometimes its best to just raid the two of them while you build up heavily, I did that once, was hilarious, I built like 12 construction ships for each guys expansion, raided their expansions while they were rading/raeping the 4th guy and were too distracted to bother with me, and by the time they came back....... there were 12 quantum turrets built in a tight cluster in the expansion, with more plus sensors being built, plus a light fleet to defend them.

And while they broke their fleets trying to re-take the expansions, I was collecting resources like mad, had un-defended expansions in the dead 4th guys turf, and built a MASSIVE fleet, and just rushed in accepting losses and wiped out their starbases, yards, and builders. By the time I hit k for search and destroy (followed by microing damaged ships to repair) they were smashed beyond repair.
