I haven't gone as far as using colony ships.

I will retrofit obsolete frigates and destroyers with cargo bays a lot.

I think the point was just that that was what he had on hand.

Oh, and shields do count aganist bombardment from space, but not in troop combat, until the upcoming patch.

Good to know about shields. Thanks.
Is it a safe bet that Armor works the way you would expect it to.
In troops I tend to:
Omit one weapon, and fill the remaining kt with armor. I can't track how effective it has been.
Again, I'm just "role playing" this as I "care" about *My* troops.
Hmm, I wonder if I should bring this up with my therapist.

gryph,

Mention this to your therapist only if coupled with grave feelings of guilt when you delete a series of saved games and banish that nano-universe to oblivion.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
