I like the concept of something a newbie guide, my recommended development path is a specific example of one. I also think the wiki can probably do it better than a forum post.

Agreed the wiki is infinitely better then a forum post.

Yes that is me.

- I think rogues respawn faster if you kill the command center than they respawn resources.

This is true but only if the Rogue is one that respawns. If it is it will respawn in 1 to 5 min. It takes 12 hours for it to resupply the resources. But my point was not if you find a easy layout of a high level Rogue sometimes you might not want to destroy the CC because if you do and it respawns it might not be the same easy layout. For example I have 2 respawning Level 30's right outside my base. One is the very easy Level 30 Layout 2 ( found here : http://warcommander.wikia.com/wiki/Rogue_Faction_Bases ) I just farm the Resources from this one while I destroy the other completely and let it respawn.

- In my experience it's generally tough to get much help on Thorium unless you're a member of a close clan. (Then again, I like being independent and took down my first giant solo at level 28 and large well before that.  While I'm known and respected in my sector and have peaceful relations with all the clans I'm not actually part of any.)

I like you am not a part of a clan but over time I have made friends with member of many. But about the Thorium, When I have found a Large or Giant I have just announced in chat that if someone cracks it for me I will give them 40% to 60% of the thorium. Sometimes it takes a while to find a taker but so far I have always done so. Buy they way it has never been someone I knew prior.

...depots are tough to get and keep unless you find someone who will give you one.

Ya they are not easy to find but I have found 30 or so over time just cruising around the map doing other things. And I have had them given to me just for taken them back from someone that stole it.

They're also not really worth it as taking out a single rogue base can easily net several weeks worth of depot production.

Again I agree with you completely. I have I think 19 at the moment and I really don't even notice anything from them at all. I mostly use them in a public relations kind of way or as payment like I said before.

Now to lower payers lower level payers there is a benefit to deposits - No XP comes from the resources you gain from them. This can help slow your level progression early on. But even this has become not necessary because like we talked about if you get most of your resources from the Bonus after destroying a rogue then like deposits these resources do not generate XP.
