hmm agree. But defensive.. the Solar Panels are great because you no longer depend on the values, and the maintenance reduction allows you to put those extra ships out there. Is it realy that defensive? Considering the VERY CHEAP armor and weapons, plus the maintenance reduction on the bases and remote miners, they're good for resources.
Thats their best advantage though. They have good weapons.... but racial weapons level 6-10 are very difficult to get. Costly.
