Hmm, I don't pretend to be any authority, but it seems your arguments are not really fair.

Start at w6. That's ~1k res with cheap. Can't You spare 1k with more effective PRT.

Generally, no. Not for a long time. Entirely too long when my neighbor is scowling at me behind the barrel of his Yakimora's and laying down the law.

25% cheaper weapons. Beams are cheap enough to be of any difference. Miss/torps would make a huge difference if not for chaff, which again renders this advantage useless.

Does that mean cheaper in resources also? Beam weapons tend to be pretty expensive in resources, are they not? If you can build weapons for 25% less resources (and I don't KNOW if you can, honestly) then that seems pretty nice. And whether chaff is present or not, you still have to build those ships, so that point is entirely irrelevant.

.5 increased speed. What's it good for apart from picking out scouts? MJs on CCs give You enough to counterdesign. OT with IS-10 on BBs without armor (which I don't add up anyway having RS) gives You 2.25. So where's that speed advantage? Nubs - ability not to use MJ, saving a slot, but usually works only with ultra light nubs (using p23 engine).

Being able to save the slot for something else that your opponent has to use for MJ's and OT's just to be equal sounds nice to me. You can use a speed advantage to good benefit with longer range weapons, and if speeds are maxed at 2.5 with nubians then you can use the slot your opponent wastes on OT's for something else, like beam/deflectors/jammers/capacitors. Or maybe just more of those cheapo weapons.

BCC. Good thing for CC era, but how long does that last..

Longer with BCC's? A stack of BCC's is still nothing for an early battleship to sneeze at.

Quote:

DN. Again, didn't You choose const cheap and aren't You racing to nubs..

This ship appears to me to be pretty competetive with nubians, and hey! I wouldn't mind having those at tech 16, no-siree-Bob! And while you putting off building battles ...
