The more the merrier of course, since they add and the values are quite high in the unmodded game, so it can and does get lopsided quite quickly.

True, in most cases...but this newbie Pooka's fighting doesn't use shields, so I doubt they'd even use Combat Sensors
he's got combat sensors I. Just found that out when I stole a dread with 'em and waxed two of his carriers.

"but this newbie Pooka's fighting doesn't use shields,"

Watch it..that might not mean newbie. I don't install sheilds on ships until I get up to Phased III or so. Too vulnerable to PPBs otherwise.

Well, any update on how the game's going? It would be nice to see if all our advice worked.

Or don't shower for a month before fighting, that should be dirty enough!

Bwhahahahahahah! Too bad it won't save your empire! Espeically when you've killed more of your own puppies than we ever killed.
