I was thinking it might be interesting to have a race that wanted to reign in the possible independence of survey ships by making them dependent on a mother ship for fuel.
For surveying the first few systems close to the home system, I think that the gunboat engine might have some advantages, assuming the race in question was limited by resources Other than fuel. In terms of surveying accomplished per month for the same amount of build points, the gunboat engined survey boats would have an advantage. Also, if they did run into a nasty, they would have more chance of running away and ditching pursuit instead of leading them to the entrance to the system.
Dear friend--
Ive lost an CG and "nasty" come very fast..or u have an VERY fastest ship than a missiles (from a planets for EG) or u lost ship everytime u encounter nasty:)
When nasty comes..neverone r ready to flee.Sure that.
War experience tell me that.
So better u build a cheap survey..long run,good fuel consumer.Better sensor array.
