: ship designs is a good one.  The problem comes with small worlds.  Whilst
: it is easy to have a stock collection of 99 ton ships, what do you produce
: on your size 800 worlds ???  Either you end up with a lack of flexability,
: a huge number of ship designs, or a world that is really not producing as
: optimally as it should...
:
What's wrong with producing mass 80 ships?... even on size 400 worlds you
can produce mass 40 ships..... which are very usefull.
You can create fleets with these mass 40 ships to defend flanks or
secondary attacks or.....etc...etc..

: Hmmm.  obviously not the way you play.  However I have recently
: experimented with a massive MAT shipping operation, using many large cargo
: ships.  The ability of a Homeworld to produce 10000 MAT is unique, and can
: be very useful.
:
Only when you haven't got enough planets with a high resource....
otherwise it's a waste of time.

: 	Standard ship designs are good, but I think you need a lot, broken
: into many mass breaks.  This should also include multi turn ships and
: forts.
:
Forts are not effective... they are only there as a last ditch resort.
Just create slow/medium/fast fleets the slow fleets are for defence.
