Hi all! Some questions I have been pondering this cold winter's weekend.
Q1) Putting aside pros and cons of a -f SD, if you are running a 3.0 cheap SD, is the Energy Dampener & Various Minelayers enough to justify choosing En cheap over Prop+En normal, if I have not gone the IFE/NRSE/Grav imm combo? (In fact, feel free to expand that to "How would you choose your 3.0 cheap tech?" Seems to me SD could almost get away with Weaps normal  )
Q2) Corollary Question 1: Is there ever any reason for SD to take El normal or cheap?? (I'm thinking "No", but I'm often wrong  )
Q3) Corollary Question 2: If I'm non-TT -f, can I take Bio exp, even though it is important for getting the better normal minelayers? (I'm thinking "Get to Bio 7 and just sit there for a long time before worrying about going to Bio 12.)
Q4) If I have the ED on a frigate and some clever mongrel targets unarmed ships and manages to take it out in round 2, does the slowing effect stop or does it continue the whole battle? ((I've not managed to achieve this in a test bed, hence asking the Q - yes I am hopeless on the battleboard, I admit it.))
Q5) If it is the case that when the ED is destroyed during a battle it does the stop the slowing effect from that point on, what's the ship design and orders that can take out that ED in round 2 for me?!? 
Q6) If I have 1in5/1in6 hab, can SD get away with keeping a typical breeder in the early-midgame to late-midgame giving 600~700 res pa. I mean is that enough to get by (eg, really keeping the pop down around the max pop breeding% rather than balancing econ) or does SD really need that 1,000 res+ per planet ongoing to pump out those MLs along with all the usual biz?
Thanks to any that can help out with any of these super basic questions that are dizzying my simple mind
