Do you post just to hear yourself speak, or do you have something meaningful to say?
Innociv is WRONG, but at least he makes POINTS.
What you wrote is less wrong, but also complete GIBBERISH.
I'm fine with discussion, even if people don't share my viewpoints, but half-baked crap responses are useless, and it's not like people don't realize what you posted states NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE.
You see, you just became a hypocrit.
Instead of critiqueing someone elses posting, how about you take some time to improve your own ediquette

Now, I do have reason for posting sparse posts. Actually two reasons.
1) I have little time
2) Its has been already discussed many times over.
I just felt like adding that because many started attacking him for saying the strategy sucked. It was clear that what he was trying to say was that it could be countered, but in the heat of the moment, perhaps becuase of people like you, he decided to make his post a little more edgy.
Now as to refer to the strategy it is easy to say it is counterable. RA is first of all expensive and the build up to it is easily detectable. I have been able to spot an RA rush in several games and it led to a very early victory. Not to mention the fact that once it is activated it can quickly become more a hiderance. It bring in vast amounts of 'free' units, yes. But it excludes many units that are importan, like cruisers, planet bombers, and capitalships. This makes the fleet very unballanced in a way, and only good when it is 'massed'. A smart player would not that and attack on multiple fronts once an RA rush begins. With hope you may be able to destroy several gates and also put the other player at a disadvantage economicly since RA might have pushed him to upgrade his supply cap.
Plus, you have the use of support cruisers, and this can be of great help since often RA rushers neglect to research and acquire the techs and build these vital ships. And once RA begins they will not have the cap to allow for construction of these ships.
Now a smart player using RA would build up cap ships and cruisers before researching RA. Meaning that it would no longer be a rush, since it would be activated more towards the middle of the game.
I personally neglect the research unless I need additional support or if I see a game ending quicker if the research is done and the extra frigates help me wipe out the opposition faster.
Sighhh... stop capatalizing words in your posts for emphasis. If you can't bring things to a readers attention without capitalizing it, then you are by far the most pathetic excuese for a human being I have ever seen.
