Yes it is. Since the Reduction goes away as soon as you leave the system that has a reduction facility.

well yes, but you can use better remote extraction, cheaper bases and cheaper defenses.

You can not get the better remote mining in those asteroid ring systems though.

Cheaper bases is again all defensive, which was TC's point.

what about repair & construction bases?? those are defensive?? a BSY draws ~500 mins. if you have a lot of these, a 30% reduction would help.

Remember, the armor skipping weapons make orgainc's best defence -- the organic armor -- a complete non-issue. Forge an alliance with religious and psychic allies on that basis if organic players join.

And use Shielded Fighters heavily in system defensive planning. The Shield adding Facility does wonders for Fighter Stacks.

phased weapons. that does it.
