On Alien miner vs Ultra miner:
alien miner and ulatra miner are fairly even. In res/mine capability they are identical. Alien miner consts more iron and Germ though.
You get alien miner at con 10 and ultra at con 15 so alien miner is 20% discounted. BUT there is the cost of of the miner hull and the fact that each alien miner is = to 10 mines.
OBRM's must slap 2 aliens on a miniminer, which at the time when you get the alien is 82% the cost of the aliens! Add the the engine, and whatever you put in the mech cost and you get to the stage when 10 super miners on maxi miner hull are more cost effective! So the only advantage that OBRM race with the alien over the race that didn't take OBRM is the gatability of the miner ships. But then again, if someone has the alien miner, the chances are that many people will get it and so even that advantage is evaporated. As for an ARM race: ultra miners on ultra hulls weight about 1200 kt just 4 times the 300 kt, com'on people KNOW you've been gating something of simular weight.Laughing
An ARM race still has some advantages over the non OBRM race with alien miners. The cost of the hulls is one of the things but minituarization plays an even greater role. An alient miner requires advancement in Energy, Con, Electronics AND BIO! Shocked
So to get that 20% minituarization bonus I talked before, you'll NEED bio tech 10. Most people wouldn't advance higher than bio 7 if they had the choice.
And there you go Ultra Miner Beats the Alien miner on all accounts OBRM or no OBRM.

QED Cool



In the Future there is only WAR...
Therefore our extinction is assured, it is just a matter of where and when.
