I'm interested in seeing how the strategic landscape of Eclipse has developed over time. Here are the strat+race combos that were winning our games of Eclipse before I left for china a few months back:Hydran Heavy Research - Basically, the hydran player turtles early and mid game, building a tech foundation. By late game they can counter build any ship you have and either turtle in safety or go aggressive for combat VP. I've seen a player fill out all three research tracks (or close to it) with the I ring double research system. That's a bunch of points. If your neighbor is hydran and they pull the double research I or II, attack them IMMEDIATELY, you can't afford to wait!
Planta Land Grab - Standard Planta strategy of extreme expansion. With enough table-talk/diplomacy the planta player may not need to fight much. Don't let new players sit next to the Planta guy!
