I dunno how to use this starting unit for anything remotely useful as a strategy. Can anyone shed some additional ideas (condition: they aren't terribad plans)
1) Not nearly strong enough to do anything useful by itself (like engage an alien nest)
2) Scavenging or Liberation army virtues come later, so it's not like you'll have a problem making a soldier just as you get them. So there is no early "production" gap to take advantage to power through to something. (eg: African Union doesn't need to worry about that 1st earth relic, so gets some free time to build whatever weird situational start)
3) Go Physics 1st to pair it with an early Ranger *Thumbs up* Good plan lol! An anti-snowball colony start strategy.
I have some ideas on what might be done with these guys, but I'd like some more input to cover all the angles on why it is a terrible seed option.
Edit: Forgot to mention the only strength I see in them early, the ability to pick up more pods faster at the start, and that is a pretty marginal advantage that I've yet to see translate into this seed option being on par with other development options.
