Poll: Ship design strategy

[Dragonlord]

I guess I go for Balanced muscle ships. First LC, then BC's. Skip Cruisers. Max engines and solar sail, speed 10. 5 large PPB, all armor, maybe one shield. ECM etc all standard. Then research Battleships and engines 7, so that the BB get speed 10 too. One PDC on each ship, plus a few dedicated LC PD ships. As weapons I use mostly PPB, later on added some shield depleters, and some null space ships especially against organics. This is all on PBW , strategic combat. Retrofit all to have MC when you meet a Psychic race, and use SDD because of the low amount of shields you are vulnerable to boarding parties.

What SE4 needs is an ER tractor beam.
IE: Tractors that reach out 8-12 squares, and do 1-2 "pull" damage.

EDIT: I've already modded it, and it can be found in P&N v2, plus P&N Classic, maybe even earlier Versions. Feel free to copy the ER beams.

easy to mod. Either create the weapon or add the range enhancement modifier for weapons.
