Re: Random Thoughts, Observations, and Questions..
I'm not sure why you'd assume this, given that SE4 doesn't have one. Especially after the reaction Strategy First got just adding a couple splash screens. "Three more screens before I can get to the game? Outrageous!"

SE2 had an intro movie of sorts.
"Calling all ships, the time has come to spread out into the galaxy."

Re: Random Thoughts, Observations, and Questions..
Parasite, I see the AI throwing around baseships all the time. At least, the TDM AI's do. Recently I faced a fleet of about 100 ships; 84 of them were baseships.
In stock, at max tech, Baseships aren't significantly slower than Dreadnoughts. A dreadnought can travel at speed 9, and a baseship at speed 8. The advantage of the Massive mount and an extra 500kT of space outweighs the slight speed disadvantage (in my opinion, of course).

Re: Random Thoughts, Observations, and Questions..
Yeah, I hardly ever use Dreads. Either BCs or BBs for speed, or Baseships for firepower.

Re: Random Thoughts, Observations, and Questions..
-----Request for Game Play Advice: Should Monolith Facilities obsolete regular facilities or are the regular facilities still good for cheap specialization? I'm thinking that this is the right idea.
If, on a planet, I have one high resource value and the other two are low then should I specialize that facility but still build some monoliths as well?

Re: Random Thoughts, Observations, and Questions..
Baseships are tech level 9 in ship production. They are very slow and so have only specialized uses like for WP defense. Most AIs rarely build them.
The DN is then the standard big attack ship while the BS is more of a defense ship.
This assumes a lot like playing a standard game of stock, but has at least a few grains of truth in it.
