Make sure to save them 7ntil all wrecks are done and qreck data returned, as those can give plant data too.
Given the results of the prix autopsy research: Environmental tolerances for the species. Gravity band, tempurature, ideal athmospheric mix, that kind of thing.

Wouldn't the second Vosges give 4 too?
And hadn't we got some from the first scrapped ship?
Shouldn't we wait until we have the next engines before building new classes?
SteveZAX and the Winged Hussar squadron Have arrived at planet Harmony.
But they'll get there FAR faster under tow. Our Super-Tugs move at 13,000+ kps, while a typical commercial ship like the Quartermaster is about 3,000+ kps.
It's mostly for role-play.
Correct. But the Tracking Bonus can be up to +40% at our tech level. There's a tech line that enhances it.
Gunships are our core competence. But it doesn't pay to be too rigid and inflexible.
Yes, they do.

Yep. I'm going to do the engines last.
Nothing useful. Temperature and pressure tolerances. Preferred gas mix and gravity. That sort of thing.

The first gave two. So did the Marengo.
Or we supercharge them further still.
Imagine if we can go say .9c!
If the new engines are researched before the ships launch, we can swap engines while still on the slipways.
If the new engines are NOT researched before the ships launch... you want me to delay the build for years?

I think so.
Having eccm seems very prudent too.
Is it possible yonadd ecm for engaging fighters?
Like, we may get less missiles from 1.3, but if a way smaller percentage misses, or in that case of an ecm foe we go from all missing to only some, then that's worth it.
I think awacs is warranted as spies might be in the opposite end of our Reich when we need them. Having dedicated awacs to go with emotions seems good. Especially if they also have much longer ranges sensors. As iiirc the spies at times had trouble keeping track of thr fast moving foes.
The most modern Fighters have ECCM-5 on their Fire Controls and also (independantly) on their 'smart' missiles.
Fighters don't have ECM, though. A full ECM suite (Jammers for sensors, missiles and beam weapons) weighs 450 tons.

So I was thinking, how reasonable would a fast shield-bearer ship be, that does basically nothing else?
Could it tank a missile barrage yet?
Because if missile cruisers are our enemy, bait is great.

That's part of whybwe run side 6, right?
How come?. Who's he?
Zots? Is thst the name of our missiles?
I googled it. You can too!
(Character in sf tv show Andromeda, iirc. Google for details.)
If y’don’t care enough to Google, y’don’t really care.

Unfortunately our shields are limited to 480 hit points by our tech level. So a ship that was all shield would still be no tougher than a Winged Hussar or Hoplite.
... so it might as well BE a Winged Hussar or a Hoplite.
A military Rock with a 480-point shield and very thick armor is possible... but because it is Military it would compete for available slipways with other military ships.

Ah. How does the amount of bodies available effect the research?
Well, couldn't that be useful for if we use terraforming to gas them?
Could have sworn we had more.
Or is it on teh salvagers we have more?
Won't we get engines soon, though?
