Hey! I've recently bought eclipse and have had a few games.....and I LOVE IT! ......like....Love it!starting to wonder about the differences between races. I've played a couple of 1v1 games Orion vs Hydra...and I think that in this specific combination Orion has to play a rush game or Hydra will dominate.....Short-term, the military capacity of orion can push its way through to the galactic centre quite easily, and begin a military attack into hydra territory...but if orion doesn't keep pushing, the natural short-term advantage begins to wane.....the hydra from mid-to-long term have better ships and economy on account of their research capabilities (and trade rate), and this generally wins the battles. Therefore, the orion player has to always keep in mind that his natural advantage will turn against him, and he is a weaker mid-to-long term player..... I think in larger player games this won't necessarily be the same on account of alliances etc. but certainly I think this is a general point that holds true in 1v1 particularly.....
agree or disagree? would love some feedback!
