Mothballing: a raison-daitre.

[Tezzezar]

I FINALLY found a way around that annoying megaevil empire event in games with human and computer players. Evidently mothballed ships don't count against your score. Every game I get to be the Megaevil overloard due to my virus-like expansion. Now I get to keep a large space fleet in reserve without alarming my erstwhile allies. Does wonders for for surprising those turncoat, evil players (read: my friends) who think they have a huge advantage in ships and suddenly find themselves wondering how I have five times the amount of ships I had a turn ago (when they were my allies).

Almost forgot, you can retrofit mothballed ships too!!!

[minipol]

good advice. i just let my main battle ships sit there and only mothball miners/sattetelite/builder ships. Doesn't mothballing remove the experience the ships have gained tough?

[Phoenix-D]

yes, it does.

Really?!?!

Of course! Why wouldn't it? Although, a fleet of mothballed ships retains its experience, and can even be trained!
