Guns vs Butter

[SkulkrinBait]

What do we think about fleet sizes? I'm thinking that we should all try to maximise fleet production and not worry too much about scores, it's all well and good having 10 planets for example but then when it comes to a battle and you've only got 500 fighters and find the enemy has 1000 flagships you might be in trouble!

By comparing our own fleet sizes we should be OK as long as we all try to keep pace with each other, for the record I've got around 120 fighters so far, which I know isn't anywhere near as many as some of you!

I'll have around 300 ships by the end of today. I agree that we need to think about defence etc. I wonder whether I've bitten off more than I can chew with two extra planets, but my plan is to have one as effectively a farm, just produv=cing resources and little else. At the moment, I presume that a decent attack by the leading Tag would be unanswerable by us anyway. Athena is concoting a battle simulator sometime soon and this will be very useful for us I think. For example, most of us have large-ish numbers of Fighters. What is the outcome of, say 400 bullets v a large battleship/destroyer? It's good to see that we are trading amongst orselves, as this will be vital for the future.

Keep going!

After reading the other thread it appears that it will be best to have equal quantities of all types of craft, don't specialise in one over the other. I think.
