Mothballing: a raison-daitre.
I FINALLY found a way around that annoying megaevil empire event in games with human and computer players. Evidently mothballed ships don't count against your score. Every game I get to be the Megaevil overloard due to my virus-like expansion. Now I get to keep a large space fleet in reserve without alarming my erstwhile allies. Does wonders for for surprising those turncoat, evil players (read: my friends) who think they have a huge advantage in ships and suddenly find themselves wondering how I have five times the amount of ships I had a turn ago (when they were my allies).

Re: Mothballing: a raison-daitre.
good advice. i just let my main battle ships sit there and only mothball miners/sattetelite/builder ships. Doesn't mothballing remove the experience the ships have gained tough?

Of course! Why wouldn't it? Although, a fleet of mothballed ships retains its experience, and can even be trained!

Re: Mothballing: a raison-daitre.
IF: Make up your mind! Does mothballing ships remove any gained experience, or not???  |

Re: Mothballing: a raison-daitre.
I think IF meant that ships lose exp, but FLEETS keep it. So if you mothball an entire fleet, it would keep its training while any exp the individual ships have would be lost.
Cheers!

Re: Mothballing: a raison-daitre.
You can't mothball ships in a fleet--they don't show up in the Scrap/Analyze/Mothball window. You have to remove them from the fleet first.

Re: Mothballing: a raison-daitre.
I must need more coffee. KRSQK is right. I knew you couldnt mothball fleets. Hmmmm...
<Trajan steps out across the street to the Cantina for some coffee.>
One more use for mothballing ships/bases. I mothball my bases as I move from system to sytem. Since I use bases as worm hole defenses, and cannot move bases as my empire grows, I mothball them for future emergency defense use.
Cheers!
