Chadius, I am in your court on this. Players start grabbing days before it makes sense to me. I've only been back a few sets after sitting out a decade, so what do I know, but I generally track some of the more aggressive guys, certainly the ones that try to hit me.

By the end of the set, they are destroyed, or under the cut off and go down to the minor leagues, and they certainly aren't anywhere around when I look at who is ranked by me at the end.

I am not anti-grabbing, I carry jets, and lots of Tanks, but they are mostly used as a deterrent or as pay back. I get missile tech as well, Nukes hurt more in a short tourney game.

Sadly, I can get exploring to 17 million net, no worries. I think I can get to 20 million without my CONSTANT boneheaded mistakes. I don't believe you can win as an explorer.

Well, maybe as a techer......
