Well, if I had ISB as IT I would use docks with gates, not forts with gates, as even with the double discount gates still cost far more than either hull.

So I'd build the dock and then add the gate.

I'm currently playing an IT with ISB in a game, and docks with a gate are more expensive than forts with a gate. By about 40 resources, IIRC. I'll have to look up the specifics when I get home, but I build the occasional fort with a gate just for that reason - speed.

Confirmed. At my current tech levels, a fort with a 100/250 gate costs 142 resources and the dock with the same gate costs 176 resources.

Unless you can take enough colonists to build either in a single turn (unlikely during the early game), then the difference is only 20k colonists for a two-year build. If I could afford it, I'd definitely go for the dock option, but if speed is of the essence and I only have 75k colonists to take along, then I'd rocket up that 250 fort and reinforce immediately.

Re-reading your posting I see you were saying the cost of the gate is more than the cost of either hull, not that the dock+gate is cheaper than the fort+gate. Absolutely true. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Wouldn't change my approach, though. Smile

Cheers,

Depends on whether you have the slot free.

If I only had one slot to spare on empty little bases with a gate, I'd make it a dock, because compared to the cost of the gate, the ability to build ships is worth it.

But, of course, I probably wouldn't take ISB in the first place, making this whole argument moot. Rolling Eyes
