I think the Empire is pretty cool, but you all are right, when I have the choice between the heavy carrier races, I would always consider Bot or Colo as the more attractive ones. Whenever I pick the Empire, my first thing is to find an ally who is capable of good support. I know thats a weak move, but it's just honesty

All that is true.

It looks like they have a bad marketing team, though

deffli in Re: Evil Empire:

Hi, in Plist 3.2 the evil empire ia able to develop some nice ships - a good jumpship and a anticloaker. This race has a lot of potential - if not attacked by cloakers in the first half of the game the ability to fly death stars becomes the dominating matter. If you attack with two death star carriers a bigger fleet the others loose 3 battleships and in most cases you stay with one death star. Meaning you get around 2000 building points and the opponent only 1000. eveb if you loose you will get building points because your enemy will always loose a ship to kill a death star. If the game lasts longer the effect becomes stronger and will become the winning cause. But being attacked early - the empire is quite weak like the Borg.
