That's a solution. I usually prefer a longer range ping ship. I like to ping the inner portions of my opponent's empire as well as planets I'm about to attack. I just can't stand the feeling that an extra 100 battleships might be lurking, just waiting for me to make my move Smile

This is IT we're talking about, so DD hull, QJ5, one anti-matter generator and one x-ray laser can go over 300ly at w9. Add another AMG and you can go about 500ly. Replace the x-ray with a gattling if you want it to serve as a minesweeper as well.

The main problem with taking NRSE (whether you take IFE or not) is the increased cost of your nubs. The IS-10 costs 17 iro and 58 resources, compared to the Trans Galactic Mizer Scoop at 5 and 20. With 3 engines per ship, that means 36 extra iro and 114 extra resources, and you're building a lot of those things. And there's no relief until I get to prop 23 which is probably at least a million resources away if I have expensive prop. The period between prop-11 and prop-16 (where I can go w10 and you can only go w9) doesn't generally last very long either.
