I am curious which ship hull people use the least
mostly the general ones not the PRT specific ones, but those too i suppose

please also say "why" you don't use it


B17-Bomber: Why use the B17-bomber-hull if you can take the mini-bomber-hull? Well, there might be one reason, the B17 can carry 2 types of bombs like LBUs and cherries which allows you to save one ship slot.

Small Freighter: Researching some construction to get the medium freighter is always better... with perhaps 1 exception: low growth AR.

OBRM gives +10 max. population, which gives +10% resources in mid to late game. But that means that any remote miners that can be build are quite poor, in addition to being expensive. Plus that remote mining fleets are very vulnerable to attack.

I haven't seen any non-AR use remote mining.


Ha! I did... once... and even in multi-player-games, in my first ones. And I was quite proud of my remote-miner-fleets. If I remember correctly I was playing IT (which makes building RM-miners even sillier).

But then the day came when I calculated the cost of those RM-miners in comparison to just bulding more mines or right away in the race creation spending some points for more mines.

Nevertheless there are exceptions:
ARs, of course, they MUST build RM-miners.
And in games which are designed to last long AND you have a low hab... it might be a winner but even then you might also get away by just colonizing the red planets.
