help with the transition from t2 to t3.

[MightyHerck]

Hi,
I could use some help with the transition from t2 to t3.
I play UEF and find it really difficult to decide on what to do first which usually leads to me doing everything at the same time and as a result a massive mass stall.
I notice I do ok till minute 15 on mass and energy income. then well let's just say I lack the attention span to continue
my dilemma:
- do I stop spamming?
- do I build t3 power to spam asf's if needed?
- upgrade my mex's to t3?
- go for persies?
- do I build t3 shields and if needed sam's?
- build nuke defence just in case?
- do I build t3 pd to defend against experimentals?

I also noticed that players sometimes build t2 pgen's next to shields to get a bonus. Does this only reduce the power requirements or also add a bonus to the shield regen?

- i dunno the game
- no you commander RAS
- i dunno the game, if you can afford it in terms of defence and mass yes
- yes
- no t3 shields (like never) SAM only if you suspect t3 air, else build flak
- no, scout well and build it only if you see enemy building nuke, never build "just in case" nukedefences
- no percies (at fatboys maybe)
- only energy consume bonus

You can also post some replays. It realy depends on the map and on the situation, so we can have a better look on it when we have some replays from you.

Im only a 1400 noob, but when I get into situation when I suddenly dont know what to do next (spam? upgrade mex? build shield? build more defences..?), I simply make 20 air scouts and fly across the map.

Seeing my opponent always helps me to decide whether to build more defences, upgrade mexes, or spam and attack him.
This tactic works for me on all stages of game - from T1 to exps.


Or, you can play it cool

ty for all the good advice!
I'm still learning a lot from my replay's. I don't wanne bother you guys with that just yet
I will try the scout spam for sure and in general I have to scout a lot more so will work on that.
