Gravity Turret + Lightning Turrets = dead Vampires.  Use a Tachyon Drone or Scout Starship to detect them if you don't unlock the Tachyon Turret.  Of course if you don't find out about the Vampires until too late, you are hosed.

Huh... I've never used gravity turrets and i didn't even know that Scout Starships could reveal cloaked ships!

While I know players use it, I rarely hear it because this fact is true.

If I am facing stealth units in the AI arsenal I get at Military III stations. These stations counter ALL cloaking on your planet. All the problems that come with stealth are blown away with the military station, and the damage boost is a life saver (2x the damage)

Agreed, but 9k in resources to throw at a command station usually doesn't occur to late game so it's not part of most strategies.  You either have to build it into your strategy very early in your intent or you're usually setting them up to deal with core-world assault fallout.

True, but I rush for a III station regardless. The massive increase in resources, even with a MK III military, is just too good for me. I forgo harvestor upgrades mind you, but the k others devote to harvestors I invest in a station. The only question for me is do I invest in military stations of econ stations. I don't invest in both.

LOL
No more AI War for me today. I was reading this topic and pressed P to unpause. Then I scrolled to read more and "paused" again. Sleepy time!

Dude that's awesome.  I'm going to start doing that to all my internets.  At any rate I'm going to go now to organize a deep strike against the New York Times four tabs away.

Actually in the late 70s my mom got a student job at a research institute in LA where she had to back up the internet every night and restart it.
