A more succinct list would be the matchups you can't win against the awesome cyborg.  Wink

And a better way to arrange the matchups would be in tabular format.

I win Yehat with Mycon pretty consistantly . Run from Yehat till you fill your crew and battery to max . From near complete stop let Yehat approach and accelerate  into it , so only one side of Yehat's cannons hits you . When you bump into Yehat , release both plasmoids , Yehat should be dead .
Mycon VS Spathi is a clean win - you use Spathi tactics at attacking Spathi and it dies .
Overall , versus the cyborg , you can win consistantly almoust anything , except Chmmr , Kohr-Ah and Utwig . Don't think i played Mycon against Slylandro though , need to see how it goes .

EDIT - Slylandro is easy .

ZooFot can consistently beat Chmmr.  Just takes a little while to knock all the sats off.
ZooFot is also the best ship for dispatching Mycon...don't even have to fire shot if you don't want to.
Druuge beats Yehat pretty easily. 


I'm not sure what Earthling can do to consistently beat the Sylandro... maybe win the odd match with a little luck.

Supox can also easily beat Kohr-Ah and Ur-Quan. Defeating the Kohr-Ah involves lots of precision and skill and timely use of the strafing.

I think a better metric for this would be looking at how the AI plays against itself. If you introduce a human player into the equation a bunch of other stuff comes into play that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how the AI behaves, however, looking at how the AI plays against itself, you notice much more obvious flaws (for instance, the AI doesn't grok the Mmrnmhrm X-From at all, and is much to focused on picking up extra crew when playing as Syreen, and the AI really doesn't seem to be able to wrap its head around fighting Avengers) which can't just be attributed to the human player using a more adaptable/intelligent play style.

Chen was in IRC when he posted this embarrassing topic. I told him ask to Meep-Eep to delete this thread before too many people saw it but he didn't listen. At least he had the sense to clean up the first post with liberal application of the phrase "vs everything".

There are very few impossible match-ups against the cyborg. Anything can beat Kohr-Ah. I haven't put Umgah vs Kohr-Ah into practice, but EP seems to think that one is possible. Chmmr has a few impossible ones, obviously. Not sure about Utwig.

The AI is already stupid, why would you want to watch it be stupid against itself?

Well here's what I can never beat with an Earthling (assuming enemy has full crew)
Chmmr
Yehat
Ilwrath
Androsynth
While it's theoretically possible, I rarely win against an Utwig, Slylandro or Kohr-Ah. A lot of it has to do with whether or not you get a gravity whip.

I find Arilou vs. Yehat very difficult. vs. Chenjesu is challenging and vs. Chmmr is basically impossible for me, though I've read peopel can do it.

Because of the way the game is set up, with asteroids and the planet, there should never be an impossible match-up for any two ships.

Wrong. No asteroid can knock a Chmmr into the planet unless it's already flying pretty close. No sane (full crew) Chmmr will lose to an Earthling. (Admittedly, the AI isn't sane.)

My team of four Androsynth and three Chmmr is the most unfair team ever!

I never said anything about asteroids knocking ships into the planet. That's pretty unlikely with any big ship. I mentioned asteroids and the planet just to show that any ship can be deviated from its course slightly by an asteroid, and any ship can hit the planet or use it for a gravity whip. Saying that a "sane" (don't know what exactly that means) full crew Chmmr "will lose" (meaning 100% of the time) to an Earthling is pretty ridiculous. Even if the chances are a billion to one that the best Chmmr pilot hits the planet 40 times and the Cruiser pilot avoids the attack using a gravity whip or asteroids, it's still a chance. There shouldn't ever be an impossibility.
