Hey, I'm mr.shaznits. I have had SupCom for a little over 4 months now. I don't really have the right machine to play it, I get about ....5 fps :b (amd athlon 2200+, god knows what video card, i'm getting a C2Q Q9450 with an Nvidia 9800 GX2 video card soon) anyways, I don't play online yet because of my cruddy PC and I can barely defeat the AI at the max difficulty. I struggle to build a solid economy, even when my AI opponent doesn't attack me... ever, and i have plenty of time to build up my resources, the AI seems to always get experimental units before me and, usually, obliterate me. HELP! I have studied the tutorials sooo much but they don't seem to help. 

I've found that a good power/mass booster for me is building T3 power generators and Mass fabricators, usually 2 power for every mass fab. (or 3 for every 2?)

Another great thing I have been introduced to is using support commanders as mobile generators. Just give them the resource upgrade and watch your economy soar. Plus they don't take up nearly as much room as all those power and mass fabricators would.

Who do you usually play as?

I like to build defensive lines of many (10-20) PDs and some T2 artilliary. As the AI seems to over-protect against air units, I would not suggest putting too many resources into that kind of attack. (of course a couple soul rippers or a crapload of UEF T3 gunships can lay waste to most opponents)

Hopefully that helps some. 

thanks, i play as as UEF usually.

 

i'm back, just thought i try to state so in an acive thread.

i think u need to pick a faction, as i did (cybran) and start playing with them exclusively. find their strengths and such.

start there and report back.

I played a game recently, just messing around and discovered this gem, allowing a very nice amount of mass and energy for a minimum of space.

 I decided the best way to show it (other than a screenshot) would be to make a grid showing it

Red is T3 Power and Blue is T3 Mass.

 

And you can add in storages to maximize the output of it all. (Insert Maniacal laughter here)
