Sort of an odd question within a question, but here goes:
It seems that you can instantly create teams on any of your colonies. I have a survey team in a system they finish their work, I disband them and then create them on a new colony. Is there any penalty for doing this instead of moving the team with a ship?
The question within a question is: I know that you can instantly create a ship using the Fast OB... is that "cheating"? And if so, is the insta-moving my teams "cheating" as well? I am learning the game (very slowly) but discovering many things that seem to be in the game that you can "just do" and it sorta feels dirty.
Thanks for any insight.
Yes and no
It´s basicly the same as the "assign to any place" checkbox for officers. Which assumes, your bureaucracy takes care of shipping the officers where they are needed, so you don´t have to shuttle them around yourself.
Personaly, I don´t do it for teams.
For one, I usualy have only a small number of teams and they change their workplace only rarely. Second, I would have to disband them, when they have finished work on, say Mars, and could instantly reform it at Titan. This, indeed, would feel like cheating. Therefore, I form the teams on earth and then move them via spaceship wherever they are needed.
