One time, I got the massive weapons very early in the game. They were much better than anything else I had, so I used them.

Actually early in the game I think they are even worse.. reason is because of the cost. 2000 minerals is over 2/3 the cost of an early ship. And you get one shot, and 100kt space.

I use the planet shield on thos planets that otherwise do not have the storage capacity to house a large number of units. Usually I put them on until I get atmosphere coVersion, then swap out for an atmosphere plant.

cost a bunch though, hehe, maybe that why I am almost always running out of stuff, eh?
