This is not a new opinion. I`ve presented it for you several times in the past. And it would probably weaken feds I am in which are BR / MK / EOE more than any other feds. As opposed to you I try to see the full perspective instead of always trying to drag things in the direction that would benefit me the most in my current situation.
That should be fun EE, I consider myself an expert in this area of econ path vs ships upkeep since I was obessesed with UWing for such a long time. Of course, ships have changed a lot, so my knowledge is not completely up to date.
Never the less...I am itching for a big GC debate of epic proportions!
The largest mistake made in this game in terms of upkeep/income ratio is the fact that you can carry ships across races when you UW. So if we should prioritize this would be the very first thing to correct.
a little to early grant...if you`d wait another day or to i`ll be posting up some facts about each race and their econ paths in relationship to their ships/upkeep for us all to discuss.
If I am a hoarding tax miner, or tax viral then I can`t really explore either. Heck, if I`m a hoarding CG miner/hoarding agri terran, big hoarding guard I can`t explore too!
