Better late than never I guess... ;)Not a tear, just a rip maybe.

I�ve experimented with -f SD and I think there�s two problems with the race:

-18% growth rate seems too low for a -f

-NRSE and no ISB: bad combo, I�m pretty sure you�d run (well, probably have run by now... Wink

) out of fuel in extended skirmishing. Even light mini-minelayers with only half the pods filled can do only so many warp 9 jumps with the Fuel Mizer. So you either need dirt cheap refuelling spots at the front (-> docks) or ramscoops. Yes, you can add the typical fuel booster to the fleet, but still, it doesn�t seem to go with the idea of heavy skirmishing and jumping around endlessly.

I prefer both for my -f designs: the theme is early warfare with light ships so engine costs are a major factor, and for that era docks are totally sufficient for ship building. No need for the expensive bases.

Especially SD are great with docks, just throw one up and start building a layer or two to secure the space grabbed.

Another thing: NAS sucks for the skirmish-type warfare but the points have to come from somewhere and you�re probably able to trade minelayers for pen scan ships.

Hope that would have been helpful if posted 4 years ago... Wink
