OA vs Shields

[Phoenix-D]

Organics cost more than normal weapons, maybe, but -in organics-.

The rest of your ship, the CQ, engines, LS and bridge, sensors, ECM, and any shields you use, still are very mineral heavy.

A BC with CS, ECM, 6 Quantu, Engines, a Solar Sail, 4 sheild generators, a PDC and 6 APB costs 14100 min, 200 org and 1660 rad

Same ship with Organic weapons, 10510 min, 5600 org, 580 rad.

Replace all but one shield generator with organic armor, and you get 8110 min, 6120 org, 580 rad. Less than half as much mineral cost, and the total cost for all three resouces is 15960 vs 14810, in favor of the Organic ship.
