Confused Not such a MM freak anymore?


Never been one. I have studied almost all aspects of the game very closely but i have always thought how to MM enough and NEVER MORE.

Why i do it differently from what you suggested is that i very rarely build stations with AR. I built stations in masses with that ISB-less 3-immune (that is not as bad as people might think), but i have not played it ... 10 years already. I usually get 1 immune with growth 14-15 or maybe 16 with LSP. That gives 1 in 4 or maybe even 1 in 3 hab with careful design.

Combined -f hab and low growth... it makes LOT of habitable or soon to be habitable planets. I have no time to wait until someone takes these planets and so i breed from the docks i have.

Now... about turn 30 i have mostly finished my colonization phase and the pop transport routes from HW grow futile (5+steps) i start thinking about raising the pop density around center and on breeders.

Clicking F5 i usually see con 12 by then. So i build ultras, skipping the stations. They have more or less equal cost. Now when my ultra is ready i have the question: who builds construction 7 miners at construction 12? Wink

Sure i would build stations if my HW is extreme poor or i have some 100+ germ conc breeders or breeder is hit by comet... but these are special cases. Nod Station+miners must pay their cost back at least 3-4 times until 2430, and that means close to 90 conc worlds. Spreading, terraforming and tech are otherwise better investments.
