Starting BPs were also in favour of the larger powers.Sure enough.

I just meant, if, say, the spanish, have the same pop based start as the other factions, just maybe a bit less, that means they'll start with ammo factories that they really would have never built in the quantity, with absolutely no missile launchers to go around.

I'm also a bit confused on how empires with colonies on the same planet would work. But that's just me. " - Thats how it works, you just have to switch empires in the drop down tab. of course setting them up is a little more involving. And whenever I've tried to do this I always end up subconciously favoring 1 empire with focus time over the others, so that is another thing to watch out for.

Hmm i could see spain considering facs if the buildcosts are low enough. I wonder if some power would install a missile PDC on the Moon. To get a MAD doctrine running. Japan with its fighterdoctrine could use one of those to train its sqadrons.

Very interresting campaign. I will root for the 3rd French Reich.
I guess they will useFACs armed with missiles and their ships will be specialized for different tasks an thus will be smaller unlike the commonwealth designs.
Good luck with the new campaign!
Edit: So no FACs.

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and meson cannon...meson cannon and surprise.... Our two weapons are meson cannon and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are meson cannon, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as meson cannon, surprise.... I'll come in again.

Given that you put that much effort into the background and start (I almost worry it won't last long due to how much continued effort that might be), wouldn't it be interesting to have different industries, wealth, tech, etc, based on the starting nations and their territory?
I mean, aren't the spanish otherwise going to have ammo production lying around?

I have glossed over that a little
They could be independent but not space-faring, or more likely under the influence of one of the smaller powers. I might address that in the course of the AAR.Quote
Awesome setting, didn't expect the spanish inquisition.

Let's see....
The British are going to be missile based (I mean, when haven't they been missile based!).
That means that we have FAC's, railguns and Lasers left for the Germans and French. IMHO, I think that the French are going to be railguns+FAC's, and the Germans are going to be lasers.
Comments?
In fact, we can replace British by French in your sentence. I don´t see why the British must be missile based.
For me Germans will be armed with beam/short range weapon and British and French will be missile based(with some difference, of courses)
