Command - Rixian Rush

Rixians have a 12 second research time, which means that by the time they have the money and the stations, they can develop anything available. Bomber research is available upon the start of the game, and so is the nanite repair system. Therefore, scouts can equip Nans, and a bomber can launch, very early.

The tactic consists of having a launch point for the bomber, and then have all scouts serve as Nans for the assault at the enemy's home. The tactic can also be done with other Factions, but a little slower.

Have all scouts deploy as they normally would, but make sure everyone carries a nanite repair system in cargo. Also, have a teleport receiver build next to the enemy's home. This will require an escort, mostly if you're up against the Dreghklar Empire or the Iron Coalition, since they have light interceptors upon start.

As soon as the teleport receiver builds, have all your team ripcord to the Teleport, and equip their Nans Any scout that dies must be picked up and ripcord back as a Nan. You now have a turreted Ballista with all the team nanning it, a major assault against the enemy home.

Adaptation of the strategy for map InsideOut

InsideOut is a special map, since it has a complex array of sectors, but the adversaries' homes are only separated by one sector. This rush must be carried out the exact same way, but no teleport receiver is required for the Rixians, since they can ripcord to scouts. Have the bomber launch, with a few Nans. When it is close to the enemy's home, have all scouts ripcord to the bomber (to the scouts nearby the bomber), and your assault is ready.

Dangers of this tactic

If the rush fails, most of the team will find itself podded, and retrieving them is critical. Having a scout or two stay behind for pickup is not a bad idea. (The Rixians don't have rescue probes.) If you don't prepare any way of retrieving your pods, the enemy might just prepare a bomber run of his own, and have no resistance to go up against, causing major, if not lethal damage to your team.
