Lets see State of the Union...

First I will talk about the Protons a little. Like everyone else they were my best guess at what might be useful for a team. The intent was for a race that was going to be the first to Max weapons tech with a strong economy for the ARM-BB era.

Right now they are in second place score wise behind Paladins CA (1st place) but most likely the leading resource race. There is no reason we should not lead the Blues in weapon tech.

My thinking is for the Protons to get to max weapons and then jump over to producing BBs for the team (CE should help here).

Ok a big picture look:

Obviously to win we need to try to make the most use of each of our strengths relative to our enemy. And focus our energy on the areas where we can get the greatest return on investment. It seems to me that our pen-scanning ability combined with SD mining gives us a strong advantage NOW. Our Joat should be building interceptors to try to shut down enemy shipping (or at least force them to spend extra resources to defend them). Our SD should continue to aggressively be pushing mine fields into enemy territory (soon all along the front now that gates are up).

I agree with Luke that everyone does not need Bio tech. One or two players building scanners and eventually smart bombers should be enough.

We need to free up Paladin to be able to build OAs. Even with the current gates the IT can gate up to 500kt anywhere on our side. They will end up damaged but it does not matter. The OAs only need to be able to gate once over a long distance after that they can be moved normally between planets in a given area when needed (or can be repaired by an SFX while doing terra).

So it seems to me our priority list for the next 10 years should be something like this. Aside from normal factory construction -

SD - keep building minelayers
IT - research weapons
CA - build OAs
Joat - provide fighting ships as needed / research con
SS - provide fighting ships as needed
PP - provide fighting ships as needed

Until they get pen scanners we have a significant warfighting advantage I think we should make the most use of it to control as much space as possible.

Just a few thoughts,
Ozone
