Maybe this time we can get around to actually instituting Hug-a-Bug Day.

My thinking as someone who does not know anything about this game or its mechanics was that the civilian scouts are (presumably?) cheaper and faster to get out, and I'd rather make actual warships later on than jeopardize our expansion to churn out half-assed scout-destroyers that suck at both scouting and fighting and are going to be obsolete soon anyway. Now again, I have never played this game and might be totally wrong about how poo poo works in it, but the logic certainly isn't 'screw the military'  Besides, fluff-wise? Why would the Republic go to the trouble of arming space exploration craft because aliens might be real? Seems fairly unlikely after all. Let's concern ourselves with the Borg or whatever after we have some reason to suspect they aren't just science fiction.

Labs, Domes Arbalest class Frigate Standard Military Drive and armor (10p) Augmented Engines (10p) 4 Nuclear Missiles (16p) 2 Point Defense Laser (2p) 38 points total. A bunch of missiles and a bit of point defense to fill the gaps, good engines for FASTNESS and kiting. I'd rather have specialized vessels that do the thing they're supposed to do well rather than have some miss-match multitasker with bombs and missiles and lasers that sucks at both fighting and bombing. Of course, I know nothing about this game so my build might be dumb and wrong so eh.

The Archer is a decent choice, but it could fit one more PD laser, couldn't it? So why not chuck that in?

To make it clear, my vote is still in favor of my own design (the Arbalest), in case there's confusion on that.

Xenocides seems to actually know the game mechanics, so I wonder why he chose not to put the better engines on his craft even though they are supposed to maintain long distance? Is in-battle maneuvering not so important then? Gimme some sweet starship build strats.

That still seems like a fairly poor reason to waste space on what are (to my understanding) surface attack modules on a ship designed to be used against other ships? In what sort of situation would the Federation go 'oh man I wish we had had the foresight to arm ourselves for bombing immobile population centers'. In what sort of situation would not having taken the bombs be bad for us?

DO NOT finish research because even though I hate leaving techs unfinished, we apparently really don't need this one quite yet. Start Private Funding because c'mon this is a Nweis LP Yay on another ship because it's my design and I got to toot my own horn. Nay on spy agency because we should probably do some economy stuff first. The fleet should probably be broken up for now to scout. Theantero fucked around with this message at 09:23 on Oct 8, 2016 |

We definitely should have specialized PD boats I think. Well, at least I personally enjoy highly specialized units. And as much as I like MASSIVE MISSILE BARRAGES, my dad makes mass drivers sound like the boring and stable option and who am I to question him. And since I'd rather see this to the end game I think our military should take the boring but stable route. Thus: Just do what my dad says

my dad posted:Xenobiotics - Take the agricultural applications. (In my personal opinion, reducing the number of pops that need to work on food on a developed planet achieves the same effect as the research boost, while also letting them do other things if needs be) Sure, seems smart. Also, liking New Babylon.

my dad posted:If we do reasearch Artificial Gravity, take the industrial bonus. Something tells me it might have a more powerful overall effect than the science boost. This. Friend Commuter posted:Cybertechnics and repair drones, our research is pretty solid at the moment and we can always use more industry. Also this. Fleets to Warikomi and Tarazad. Also, could we maybe make a single scout and try to sneak it to scout the galaxy or something. Wondering who else is here in addition to the Bulrathi.

The Darloks are ringwraiths, the Psilons are greys with their spacechips all being actual flying saucers. The answer is clear: All pop culture authors of the past were actually Orionian exiles in disguise, trying to hint us of what is to come

I mean, I've got this whole thing bookmarked, so I can just read the update when/if it happens, no big deal. Basically, I enjoy reading your threads and would like an update, but there's little point in forcing it if you aren't feeling it anymore. The enjoyment of random goons is probably one of the least worthy things to grit your teeth for in the entire world after all
