    The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!

    Is there a way to get out of the Galactic colossus faster when the attack is forbidden for 20 minutes?

              I was slightly faster
              You can see I used a good trick that you didn't use (reclaim t2 mex, build t3 mex in its place) and a really rotten trick that you didn't use (reclaim t3 mex, because why not? i don't need to end the game with any t3 mexes, i just need to get the GC up ASAP)

              I may have overbuilt t1 pgens. Also I thought it might be more efficient to just stick with t2 pgens, but i'm not sure, because i did run into energy problems. I would have to watch the replay to check the math to see if it would make sense to build a second t3 mex. (probably it would, whether or not i was going to reclaim them later)

                I watched arma's attempt and tried myself a few more times. 17 minutes is pretty typical, so 16 minutes is probably possible given some more attempts, but not much faster

                  Decided to stop after 2 t3 mexes.
                  16:20 on 1rst try without ctrl+k-ing mass extractors

                    I think there is a lot to learn from that very simple challenge.

                    • Upgrade things one by one, not all at the same time
                    • T3 mex costs mass (of course) but also a lot of E, so you need not to forget t2 pgens
                    • You need a lot of build power for t3 stuff, so always make engis when you scale up
                    • and of course basic eco stuff, balancing the mass bar, not making too much E, reclaim ... etc

                    Could be valuable to host some mini challenges like this for newcomers 🙂

                        Decided to stop ecoing after 2 t3 mexes, probably could have stopped earlyer.

                        and i has some weird BO issues at the beginning and was wasting power... so surely can be impoved futher

                            I did it in 15:38.

                            15:00 should be easily doable with... some... practice
