Let me tell you... when MP works this is a damn good game. The problem is getting MP to work right.
Hive (OB) and I played a couple of games the other night that were frustrating as hell. First our frieghters were running into each other and getting destroyed (at the end of the game we had lost a total of 12). It was a significant contributor to our loss.
In a 1v1 Hive was having a heck of a time getting his fighters to attack mine. I would completely destroy his group of fighters and maybe loose 1 or 2. This is even when they had 2 lvls of tech superiority AND close numbers. There was no explaination for it except for formations (maybe).
When it does work... OMG it can be fun. Earlier that evening I played a 2v2 with DivisionByZero as a teammate. We totally dominated the other team and never once ran into the problems that Hive and I encountered. I really hope the MP patch comes out soon.
Novus Ordo Seclorum Knowledge is power... has been since time eternal. Arcane knowledge is thereby ultimate power and can therefore lead to ultimate corruption. Wisdom (and the experience that comes with age) is a serum for corruption. Perhaps that is why there are so many Old Men with Arcane knowledge and so few young ones... Arcane OMO - Circa 2001
