Shields -- NA/10/10
Emissive armor -- NA/0/0
Scattering armor -- NA/8/8
Stealth armor -- NA/10/10
Cloaking -- NA/0/0

Ion Dispersal (engine destroying) cannon -- NA/10/10
Frigates -- NA/0/1
APB cannon -- NA/10/10

Second Part:
A. Do you use training facilities and why?
Yes, because not using them gives a 40% bonus to your enemy.

B. Do you research Computer Complexes and why??
Yes. They increase resource production tremendously.

Third part:

1. Master computer -- NA/8/8
-- if you use an MC, do you add an Auxillary Bridge? -- No
Good idea or bad and why?
3. Smallest ship with QR -- BC. I don't ever have QR before I have BCs available, and there is not point in building smaller ships if BCs are available, except for Boarding Ships, which LC is a good hull for.
4. Do you make mixed weapon ships and why?
Only such that the have Shield Depleter, Ionic Disperser, and APBs (or PPBs). Missiles and Direct Fire weapons on the same ship is suicidal.
5. Do you make only specialized ships and why?
I make both, depending on the situation.
6. Do you mix shields and armor?
Generally no.
9. Is there a level at which shields are preferred over armor?
Yes. Phased Shield Generators IV and V are preferred over armor.
