Quite interesting.
Because if you go to the middle early to get the sensor probes, it usually comes at the cost of losing more ships....
It will also be a bit more appealing to to to the center. I have noticed some players try to not commit to that because of the loses that come with it...
Exactly. It also reinforces the theme a bit more than just going with remaining ships as the tiebreaker.
I STILL haven't worked out when it is advantageous to move to the middle. If I'm the first or second player, I won't take my first move to the middle. At some point, I think it does become a viable option. The problem is that the real answer depends on what everyone else is doing.
(That is probably the answer to just about every strategic tips kind of question. I myself still wonder how strategic the game is overall, because it is so remarkably capricious.)
