So had some games since then. Posting a couple of games.. the first (Terran supvsetrt vs Iildari me on Beta) was because I find it notable to be one of the rare instances where I didn't commit to an econ game. Not even tier 2 HQ upgrades due to circumstances regarding the center- opting to gain supremacy in the space battle with some tactics with early ship upgrades. I do believe the VP points condition is very effective in forcing combat so in that respect it is successful, though the default is I think too generous and a +2 to it is needed for most maps (at least for me) to ensure a game with some moderate length.
GG.
2nd game attached also is my second game with SkyEnd (Terran mirror) where he went with Tier 1 Ship as the first research. I played suboptimally and with poor luck, but it is interesting that somebody tried it with success. I do believe the play here is to spread out and leverage scout mobility to threaten blockades, but you do have to contest VP, especially with default settings such as this one.
GG
Together they provide glimpses into alternate strats that I hope can be explored further in the future.
