Even though the increased capacity allows pop exports to keep pace with 18% GR planets, it still grows at 6% and takes forever to reach reach the same capacity as an 18% GR planet.

That only bothers me when I'm filling the first deathstar, or ultra-station. After that, you just keep exporting colonists to the next ultra-station or deathstar until it reaches the 25% or 33% threshhold, and export to the next from both of those. You don't really feel the pain that way, although I'm not disputing anything you're saying.

Another disadvantage of low growth AR races is the 2.5% (i think) death rate in space. Since AR's have to transport population LOTS (only way to keep the resources per planet reasonable) low growth with a relatively high (by comparison) death rate is a real killer.

Quote:

This is easy for the 6% AR to overcome. Just fill colonizers and transports with no more than 2200 colonists. At 6% growth, there won't be many colonists to move anyway. DDs with a cargo pod can double as self-defense and transport ships. Just remember to split them all so that no cargo hold has more than 2200. This procedure allows for no transit deaths at all. Of course you lose any shild stacking or distributed damage by doing this, but at 6% growth you can't afford any transit losses at all - as you have already indicated.

Well, I don't know about a 6% growth AR, but there's no way I'm going to produce freighters and have them running around with 2200 colonists in them. Personally I could care less about the casualties those spineless beings take from warp speed, I'm cramming as many into the freighter as I can. Do I care of their comfort? Obviously not, or I would fly them in galleons, in style. Twisted Evil

(It's good to be the king!) I do limit my colonizers to 2200 colonists because the difference betweeen 2200 and 2500 is negligible anyway, but with freighters, I just click that little check mark to hide the message and then it doesn't happen ...
