The Orion Nebula

whats funnier, is that some people who play dict races, dont ever build marine barracks on their housing planets.

hmm how do u mean ? With dicsub f.e. I´ll build afacs first. Then I let these planets with afacs just house, while I tech on my Homeplanet. When that Planet is full I build a MB and rlab on another planet and tech there too. I think MBs r not really important for housing.

i think i prefer building at least 2 cbases then teching rlabs/autos and building rest of cbases.

sometimes with slower races ill only build one.

I prefer near always building all cbases, expect demolitharti or there´s a shit tiny upoor lg planet or so ... but usually I prefer building all at first. This gives u in the end more money and pop.

not building marine barracks on housing planets for dict races, cuts down on housing rates cause it cuts down on production by 20%.

but at the same time, if you dont build mbs you save 1bc per turn for every mbs not built.

First of all, the basic 5prod by the autofacts are not affected by morale. And when there is just 1pop on the planet you lose about 1PP per turn.

When you build the barracks you lose pop...and sometimes the barracks are even completely useless for 1pop because of pollution which eats the additional PP.

I vote for mas production because i prefer quality over quantity and I claim that the democracy can beat the uni (always play pre-warp games )
