I have ordered a Tug to take a Quartermaster re-supply ship in tow, and drag it to Harmony to service the New Fortress of Doom.

More missiles. The best defense is an overwhelming offenseApril 3rd, 2032.

Shipyard expansions. Those two yards just reached 25,000 tons, and can be re-tooled for Battlecruisers.
More PD? Or Missile Boats? Carriers will require more displacement than that.

Don’t you have 14 slipways retooling for Hoplites? How many slipways are these shipyards?April 3rd, 2032.

I think I've got nine slips tooling for Hoplites, plus the Winged Hussar yard can build them WITHOUT re-tooling (and is building four of them now) but the Winged Hussar yard is a 40,000 tonner and I would really like to re-tool it for fast, shielded Carriers or fast, shielded AWACS.Don’t you have 14 slipways retooling for Hoplites? How many slipways are these shipyards?
Hussars are still untested, and the Emotion design needs a rework to incorporate the latest in shield technology. More Phalanx?
Or AWACS. The Gunships have no AWACS.As for these 25,000 yards, I guess missile cruisers will best serve our avian leaders desires.
Did we get research points for whatever sauce goes well with Modrons?With all the wrecks that we've recovered, we naturally found plenty of dead Modron bodies.
The newly launched Winged Hussars head toward the action.

Does anyone else want one?
We're getting within spitting distance of that Gas Core Anti-Matter Power Plant tech.
Less than 30,000 points away, if you include the tech points carried by the Salvagers.

I will stay in my emotion. It served me well and I've grown fond of it.
Is Fondness really your Emotion though?Go for AWAC ships.

Four. We haven't dismantled any yet. We should get six more from the other captured ships (two each).How many of the gas core engines do you have?
How is this for a fast, shielded Carrier?

Slightly faster than an Emotion II at 16,999 kps. Equipped with the biggest shield we can manufacture, and with three Decoy Launchers that mimic 40,000-ton Carriers. Defended by (in addition to the shield and decoys) four layers of armor, ECM-6 jammers against sensors, beam weapons and missiles, and by a Quad Gauss PD Turret. Carries a full-sized Fighter squadron, with two-and-a-half times the magazine storage of the old models (183 size-6 vs 72 size-6). ECCM-5.
