ORIGINAL: Tree Dog quote:
ORIGINAL: Bingeling The reason I buy stations early and don't adjust the spaceport, is that I find it better to play by AI rules. The AI builds research stations, and thus, so will I. It is "better" to retrofit the spaceport unless you are like me and find it "exploitish". There's nothing exploitish about putting labs in your spaceport, really. I just put mine on spaceports and I never bother building dedicated stations at all. Still have to pay for my research, and if the AI trashes one of my spaceport, on top of losing some research capacity, I also lose the means to produce more ships and a planet's defences. It's really not a good thing when it happens, compared to just losing some research capacity from the AI destroying a lone research station in a remote system. It is of course not exploitish in your games. It would be in mine, however. We each have our own styles of play, and reasons for why it is that way. If you choose to go without bonus sites, that is a nice balancing factor. No, no, no, there is nothing exploitish about it. You're not exploiting a bug or a glitch, neither am I. And no, I largely let bonus sites go ignored, I really don't need them, spaceports and their labs are enough to reach my research caps.
