Anyways, at this point I'm wondering what the use is now . You can't really use it as a weapon, because now an enemy can see it coming and temporarily de-pop the target just like before a normal packet attack, and also because to get it close to a target you will probably need enough warships protecting it that you would probably be able to attack the planet anyways. It's mineral transportation abilities are limited - now you can get 21 more ly per year - whoop de doo! Is it for sending away the minerals of a planet whose orbit you have captured but can't keep? Or am I missing something (relatively) obvious?


You can use it to throw minerals off your remote mining planets,
you can plant one in the middle of an opponents space with some Fighters and Remote Miners and then procede to deal out packets every turn without having to run back to your own planets. When you kill their HW you can use their minerals without colonising it (RM then MD the minerals). you can sit it on your worlds so you dont have to use resourses to transport your minerals(ships dont use resourses). You can restock on the fly by having on of your MD ships MD the minerals to the planet you're going to. I'm not sure how the turns go, but perhaps you could MD the packet from orbit, and then invade in the same turn. No losses, the planets terraformed, and there is minerals to boot. Did I miss any?



If you cannot love, you will always hate, and in hate there is only death.
