Steve, please, can you share the design of the Gekkō recon drone? as I can't find it in the scenario thread.
Thanks!!

Thank you, Steve!
I see an active sensor.
Instead, I thought you installed only passive ones, for a more sthealthy approach.

Thanks for this excellent work! It convinced me to try the game, which I haven't been able to put down.

I was wondering, how did you manage to get the Fighter's crew down to 1? Crew is the main problem I have with small craft. Were there some other changes to crew besides fuel tanks not adding more crew?

Just very short deployment time, such as 0.007 for the Hayabusa for example.

Absolutely crazy updates. Damn.

Especially the Mauritius situation.

You want to conquer a planet that has an almost hostile empire that's technologically more advanced sitting right in your logistics chain.
That's beyond ballsy - it's incredibly risky, especially with the other threats out there.

But damn, if you manage to pull it off..
