PH: then I will try a 100+ turn game and see what comes up. Thanks for the clarifications.

It is exciting just to be able to play the "real thing" after so many cluges I had to do in the past.

I may want to revist the "dozens of little engines" design decision, though. In my mods of the old "Proportions" game I came to find small numbers of powerful engines seemed to work better, both in terms of designs and in terms of combat's decisiveness.
