In tvp the cost is an issue, since you may even have to even start from starport, making it starport + control tower + science facility + EMP research + vessels = a lot of resources. I don't have the exact figures at hand, but in terms of gas i think it is around 550 only to have the buildings and the resarch and then you add 225 for each vessel you make. | ||

Thats still harder to get because most people are used to staying around the left side for control and the 12345 numbers. I find it far easier to do clone EMP than clone irradiate. | ||

It's effectiveness is circumstantial. Obviously you're going to research irradiate first, but if you've already got a bunch of vessels floating around and plenty of spare gas, then it's fine to upgrade EMP as well. Whether or not you use it after upgrading depends on whether or not you get a good chance to use it. And you aren't necessarily winning just because you have a bunch of vessels. NaDa vs Gorush should be proof of that.... Uhm...why are you getting lots of archons PvT? Archons take max damage from everything. EMP is great, however, for arbiters and even carriers (cut the hp down almost half). | ||
