Re:New Player Effin' Around - 2007/10/15 17:31Exiled adds a number of cards that make the Reclamation Tower far more viable. Emergency Shield Generators, Dome, Office of Internal Affairs, Reinforced Shields, Smuggler's Den, and Tracking Array all give good shield boosts, often with other beneficial effects. Sentry ships let you turtle nicely, and Home Guard gets big ships out fast, with little drawback since you're basically playing defensively anyway.
You'll still have to hold regions in the end, but strong Sentry ships can make that quite easy... Especially with a Dome or two in play, dropping all 3 cheap outer regions can boost your shields VERY quickly, and give your opponent too many regions to contest.
