WHojo, sounds good, you don't want it to be easy. Question, what about using tracter beam along with ship capture or working something out on this. It seems that pirates would use a type of tractor beam to pull in enemy ships, hit victim with tractor beam, pull towards you then board with ship capture or is tractor beam part of ship capture routine? I haven't used ship capture yet so don't know. still experimenting with various things yet,,
Did you make the small worlds colonies or just bases for repair & supply? How did you get tech research, from your bases, planets, or thru liberating them from friend & foe or from all? mac
