Hence, the only ones I think were a bad idea were NAS, NRSE and RS,

Also, how did you possibly get a 1 in 5 hab with that setup? I don't get how it's possible... Without sending your hab ranges to the edges and nullifying the benefits of TT, that is.


RS does indeed cost 20 points if it's your 7th LSP but I can assure you that the extra shielding on ships has saved my hide on more than one occasion in this game. Over the full length of a game shields are much more important than armour. Admittedly the shields will easily be sapped on a base but the armour won't be worth much once the shields are gone either. Armour make ships sluggish & remove/reduce the chances of moving last in battles. OTOH RS shields get 40% better shielding & regenerate 10% each battle round & your ships are fast & light increasing the chances of moving last. In this game I've successfully used weap16 BBs against weap20 BBs in the case of one enemy & weap20 BBs against weap22 BBs in case of another (tho, against the odds, I sometimes lost in that matchup) - both were possible only by keeping the ships light.

NAS: 78 points is huge. The only way I could save the points is thru reducing hab widths from 1/5 to 1/7. No thanks, I'd rather post sentries at unoccupied planets until I colonise them.

NRSE: cost is only 24 points so, if I were to have dropped a LRT, it would have been that one. Your point is also a good one re. engine cost + scoop engines are lighter than standard fuel guzzlers. Still habs drop back to 1/6 &, with Prop expensive, the better engines will be unavailable until late game.

How I got 1/5? The game is still on so I won't give you details here even tho it probably doesn't matter too much. Surfice to say that all planets are eventually green.
