I agree that UR can be useful for HP-s of other PRT-s to speed small planet development if you like the MM involved. But ... what good it has for AR? AR is -f-m-d, one-immune and terraforms fast enough... so what to boost there?

Lets first look from race design point of view?

Hmm i dropped both energy and weapons to normal, dropped IFE, dropped ARM, took NAS. All that just to get good results in tiny packed. Cool

You must agree that most of these are lot more profitable things for AR than UR? Rolling Eyes

Lets then look from econ point of view?

Most of the early game AR simply has no minerals to build something very temporary. Nod

Besides these 10 early scouts, 10-20 early freighters theres nothing to scrap. Crying or Very Sad

Later ... AR is very difficult to beat anyway. I suspect UR makes it harder to reach that "later" because additinal weakness needs to be taken somewhere to pay for it in RW. Confused

Lets finally look from strategic point of view?

Single (non-HW) planet has usually only statistical value for AR. There are no planetary gadgets to worry about so basically AR can come and go when it like. Very Happy

What matters is quantity of such planets. Nod

Its even never too important to get a gate up in a hurry at some single spot in danger. Say there is lot of pop and pile of minerals present then there must be is gate already. If there are no minerals and pop then nothing to lose so why to bother boosting that poor thing? Rolling Eyes
