In my opinion, the teams who have thought about the impact and use of the trailer (very clever addition, GDC) and the flooring, and the PS, as well as the orbit balls, themselves, and everything else involved in spending time thinking about strategy and strategic plays are and will be the ones who rise to the top. Communication within the alliances will be an important factor as it has been in past games. Veteran teams, and some of the newer teams and rookies, who have spent time and continue to spend time in the strategy room and in working on communicating effectively, will increase their opportunities for doing well. They are 'figuring it out'.

I often wonder about the strategy and planning that goes into the NASA missions in space. Each one must have untold hours of time involved in achieving success and/or correcting problems.
