hey revd, as a player who only uses preachers i know how you feel.
"hp please!"
"/teleport stupidplayer"
and theres a huge horde of enemies all around him and you cant hit nexus fast enough...
to advance you gotta have ALL men to top of screen! the best tactic is to get all your starting men killed and get jeep, keep rushing to top of screen before enemies spawn :D
costing money would be dumb because no-one would wanna play for cash i mean look at stick arena go ballistic i knew lots of people who were pumped 4 it and then it was a member game and all my friends quit along with me
if this isnt skill/luck IDK what is. i use human small fastest ship with best engine, LASS camo, positronic disk things, and laser beam. so i went into 1.0 danger with hyperdrive. kill huge enemy it uses a black whole gun right before died i had no more energy so i hyperdrived and it saved my ass
