Bloodly posted:I presume the word here is meant to be 'practice'. I can't come up with a funny joke for 'praxis'. Actually "praxis" means practical knowledge gained from experience, as opposed to theoretical knowledge gained from reading or other hands-off education. So yeah, missile praxis is they ain't worth it.

I suppose you should be happy the spy-heavy race was also friendly and outgoing? They seem like bad enemies for you.

Were the Raas trying to stall us with spy manipulation rather than reinforcing their fleet? Or are we potentially getting spy-hammered by someone else entirely?

How do enemy spies get to your planet, anyhow? Ships too small to matter on the tactical scale?

So shield strength was basically a bad joke in the vanilla game? Or was initial strength at least a little damage cushion?

Right, refresh my memory -- if you and the Raas invade each other at the same time, you won't collide in the spaceways but just pop into each other's systems?

I suppose it's good that ground wars aren't so decisive as it gives you more time to intervene when one is happening to you.

So you're tying up all your transports in this assault? I guess you're building more all the time anyway.

The whole reason the Raas even have the chance to go all WWI on you is that you want them as an alternate colonist race, right? I hope that works out really well for you.

The idea of ground combat sounds interesting. Like, showing up with a tiny fleet and a giant wave of troop transports is an alternative to building a crazy supercarrier, or whatever. Just, the implementation... I mean, unless, being silicate intelligences with like no limbs, we were crucially disadvantaged when it came to actual combat power.

What an intriguing strategy. Building colonies on worlds so lovely they'd be a net drain on any empire that conquered them.

Can you, like, warp through enemy lines? I've been wondering if you could get ahead of the Raas colonizers and shoot them down, somehow.

So basically if you don't pull off a ground game victory in one go, there will always be guerillas rising up to slow your advances? Kind of makes sense.

So can you, like, disable jump engines in this combat engine or can somebody generally jump out unless it's like one scout versus a hundred dudes?

So if you wipe out an empire, do its spies still stick around and run ops on you out of spite or do they just immediately vanish for another more hopeful universe?

Yeah, I'm kind of curious about that. You've got techs that are counters, and counters to counters, and suchlike. How deep does it go, and can you just build a generalist task force and forget about it?

Now you've actually got competent planetary combat troops! This should be fun. Troop transports can still be armed and such, right? Is that what you're worried about with your aging anti-raider fleet?

It seems like the story of combat here, given transit times and all, is that when you show up to conquer a world you're probably fighting two generations-old spacecraft and if you just keep your ships in place they'll get punched out by whatever the latest prototype is. Is that how it tends to work?
