Cool, thanks for sharing. I'm still figuring a lot of these intuitions out, and indeed 80 points in the RW is nothing to sneeze at. Another thing I really need to work on is when to take risks and when to play safe (=slow)...

Just for fun, I had a look at previous game's designs, and it seems that beamer ships take about twice as many resources as bora, and missile ships take about as much iron as resources. Thus, to keep up ship production you need a mining rate of around half your resources, right? If mineral concs are about 50 that would suggest you would need 10/10k mines, so I guess 8/10 means that you are devoting a structural 20% to research or terra - which sounds reasonable. It does sound like that would be very constraining later on when concs drop further, but I suppose a -f WM doesn't assume there will be a 'later on'...
