Default Re: What\'s the point with Organic and other techs - useless!

Organic rocks!

Think about it... you get to research a variety of weapons in just one catagory... both missiles and direct fire! Plasma bolts do suck, but Enveloping Acid Globules are one of the best weapons in the game. Furthermore, the electic discharge weapons are great for lighter attack ships and the SMALL Version is the best weapon possible for fighters! (Ok, their tied with small TK projectors). Not to mention that organic armor is VERY powerful... slap a few on and you'll be virtually invincable! (BTW, don't bother with shields... just use organic armor.) And on a final note, organic stuff uses more organic resouces and less minerals/radioactives.... as your ships will now more "evenly" use resources for maintianence, you'll be able to field a larger fleet. Then you've got the facilities, the med lab works like a urban pacification center but improves reproduction and prevents plagues. The othe "reproduction" facs can also be helpful at times.

I'm not sure what you're complaing about... just drop the plasma bolts and refit with (enveloping)acid globules and electric discharge/lightning rays... drop the shields, and put on a lot of organic armor (go with 4-5 pieces... you'll see their merit)... and perhaps build some fighters, and you'll soon realize that organic rocks!
