OK, I see about the Drone now. I was under the inpression that MM was finishing the SE series and about to move on to something new.

The example of the fighters vs the ships was just that, an example. I didn't really pull it out of the hat though. In StarFire thier is a tech line in wich the engines allow for fantastic speed but you need to dock with a special "carrier" that uses a slower engine in order to make jumps through warp points. That is the problem that has me stumped. I also don't think that building fighters should just be "free" of maintence. Lets face it, in realty an F-14 or M-1 Abrams cost to build and UPKEEP. What I was driving at was the fact that you can bankrupt (drain your resources) by building a fleet, but not by building fighters/satellites/troops/weapon platforms. Ummm. As a Last note I would like to point out that the Settings.txt allows you to push up the number of units, this can also be done in the game setup screen. Were should realty (or a close approxamation to it) and fiction have its line drawn when we can move it around with no penelty?
