Zereth was refering to the strategy of only training a few ships (still train the fleets) and relying on Neural Combat Nets (a ruins tech item) to get the ship training bonus for all of your ships.

Correct, although it was mostly an unessescarily sarcastic and obtuse way of saying "Becuase that doesn't work".

However, everyone's making comments about spening your first-turn bonus on things like Phased Energy Weapons or Advanced Military Science. I must be missing something, since isn't it impossible to add those to the research queue until you've researched thier prequistes?
