Yeah, especially early it helps prevent attacks on you if you can look like you aren't easily digestible. I have a friend who used to build a few CCs and BBs with red lasers as soon as the hulls became available to him and parade them around so that they were seen by his neighbors to cheaply make them think that he might be capable of producing some dangerous ships and be more diplomatic with him then they might otherwise.

[edit] Of course, this can be counter-productive if your neighbor is a WM.

Yes, this sounds quite a smart thing to do (until someone pings one with a scout, and notices the red lasers Wink

As you say, the danger is if a genuinely fast-to-war player decides you are the biggest threat. Or if all the other laid back races decide you're the monster and mob up on you before they realise you were faking Laughing
