Do be careful when upgrading starbases, though. If the current one gets destroyed, you lose all progress toward the new one.

(Found that out the hard way when a planet lost its unarmed Dock one turn before the fully armed Ultra would have been up, and it didn't have enough minerals to build the Ultra a second time. Evil or Very Mad )


Yea.. that's why I sent out 2 chaffs where ever possible, once we went to war Razz .

I prefer adding some beam weapons and shields to my basic bases for that reason (not exceeding 50% of the station cost), and then building up on that.

Even if it's a jump from one type of station to another, I still think the step-approach is better.

I know my minefields.. but I'm a chaff sweeper.
I used to curse when I got stuck in traffic... till I realised I AM traffic.
