Ok lets discuss then ... first i see you took my "later" as "very late in game". Deal I meant it in the context of "morphing after turn 40". Especially if morphing to AR or IS. SS is OK with NAS. Example: Idea It truely helps if the ultras that AR builds everywhere got penscanning.

Arrow Main advantage of advanced scanners falls to era after tech 10 electronics and before nubians. That is when there SS is invisible anyway and rest got no real overcloakers. People without penscanners are in strategic disadvantage there if compared to folk with penscanners. Orbits hide and one cant check all, so war is bigger gamble for them.

Sure ... if there are piles of penscanner sellers around then 100 rw points + double scanner range is nice to have. wOOt 2 So ... people take all NAS there are plenty of penscanners for sale anyway? Wink

I did not get that "bigger gamble than usual" part. Confused So against AS opponent one use 5% of his military budget to achieve 90% cloaking of his fleet. OTOH against NAS one need no orbital cloak at all. May be few to blind opponent gift dolphin galleons. Rest of that cloaking budget can be used for 98% cloaked missions. Wheres the biggest gamble?

You seriously say that people build fully filled peerless nubs? Surprised Never seen one. Confused
