[Q]

And some more feedback on the game with your race (star date 2407.1): They are second of nine remaining empires and do really good! You can be proud of them.
They build now mines and fighters but still no weapon platforms or lager numbers of satellites. The reason may be that the Pyrochette made very soon contact with other races (and got in conflict with them) so the AI state may have switched early to "attack" or "defend" mode (I really wished you could see the state the AI has!). In both states the weapon platforms are rather low on the construct list.
The other problem the Pyrochette have at the moment are mines. As almost all AI they lose lot of ships in minefields. You may consider what I proposed for the Rage: inclusion of a mine sweeping component in attack ships (see corresponding topic). The Rage are the only race until now that have this and they manage the minefields now very well.
But as I said the Pyrochette is a great race and it's fun to play with them. Thank again for your work.
