1 It depends a lot on the starting mexes. 1 It depends a lot on the starting mexes.
2 If you start with 3 mexes worth 2 metal each, morphing to E-cell is the fastest way to to actually be able to spend that metal income from the mexes. 2 If you start with 3 mexes worth 2 metal each, morphing to E-cell is the fastest way to to actually be able to spend that metal income from the mexes.
3 This means that the commander can build all the 3 mexes immediately while morphing to e-cell and after he is done he can start expanding or making other structures. 3 This means that the commander can build all the 3 mexes immediately while morphing to e-cell and after he is done he can start expanding or making other structures.
4 Compare that to making the solar generators where the commander have to spend about 21 seconds more in the base to make the 3 solar collectors while his metal builds up. Alternatively if you put in some solar generators between the mexes you will have have less metal income until you build your last mex. 4 Compare that to making the solar generators where the commander have to spend about 21 seconds more in the base to make the 3 solar collectors while his metal builds up.

5 If you are cheap like me and only get a laser you only spend 40 more metal than making solars and you will easily get that back because all your mexes will be finished faster and you can start expanding faster. 5 If you are cheap like me and only get a laser you only spend 40 more metal than making solars and you will easily get that back because all your mexes will be finished faster and you can start expanding faster.

8 Personally I think that e-cell is a bit too cheap as it is always a no-brainer if you want to expand your economy as fast as possible. 8 Personally I think that e-cell is a bit too cheap as it is always a no-brainer if you want to expand your economy as fast as possible.
9 I only consider other commanders when they are essential to my strategy, when there are lots of energy reclaim or when metal income is scarce at the start. 9 I only consider other commanders when they are essential to my strategy, when there are lots of energy reclaim or when metal income is scarce at the start.
