no the advanced weapon thing only opens for more researchable weapons.. like ESG, EMP Rail GUN and RPG..

Here is how I do it.  Not neccessarily the best way, but it works...

I stick each Guardpost to a distance from eachother.   A typical section looks like this for me.
...= spaces
---=walls
X=Guardposts
...........---....---.........................-
X..........X-...-X...........X...........X-
------------.x.-------------------------

The general array of how I put them...
For the center, ALWAYS both side posts are EMP guardposts.
The entrance post is often a Railgun.
The other guardposts are either Thor's or EMP.   The corner GP is often an Acid.

I'll eventually post a picture on how it typically looks.

Its not the most defensive way, but it looks nice.
The best defensive GP way would be about
x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x....x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x
--------------------------...------------------------
--------------------------...------------------------
Alternating thor and EMP guardposts.

NOTE: YOU CAN build walls on the bulldozed areas around guardposts!    But, you will have to destroy the walls to rebuild the GP!

in the mission 12, I had do that type of defenses:
8-> armed vehicles, lynx thor's in particular
X-> emp turrets


X.....X.....X.....X
8888888888888

that wasn't expensive, but rapid to build
the lynx, it's to evit the capture of vehicles powered and hard to destroy  ;)

As stated before, we can't easily teach you until you get on IRC and we can actually SEE what it is you are doing wrong!   Additionally, observe the videos lev has posted on the site, they'll show you how its done.   (Lev WAS the rush-master around here, dunno if he still is.   Haven't played him in a year, he might suck now)

Lol Baikon.

As for videos, my new ones are on google video now.

Outpost 2 on Google Video

The older ones are here:

wiki.outpostuniverse.net/Videos

I would suggest any new players get on to IRC when they are online and start playing and geting into multiplayer.

IRC download:

opunnsirc.exe

Here are the standard research and build orders you should learn:

Microwave/Ore/Armour

There are many players around to play with and help you out. See you on IRC :)

Those videos are obsolete. I wish people would stop posting links to them all over the place.

They're not useful anyways. All Lev does in them is click a lot of buttons. No instructions or anything. They serve no purpose other than to make Lev look good.

Obsolete as they may be, they demonstrate simply of what is possible without "cheating".   While the basic list is a good place to start, there are other strategies that work quite well, that differ from it.   And I'd like to see this "Guide".   I'm quite curious as to what it contains.

Look in the "Strategies" sub-forum. It's the one with my name on it.
