problem is they stick to their engines for agesThey could have had better engines on some, but the overall engine size was downgraded to keep a 3000km/s. I do that sometimes to keep fleet cohesion when I tech up my engines, ie new frigates/destroyers match the speed of outdated craft so I could add more armor/weaponry.
npr spotted in 2060 had their fleet running 3000km/s + and 40 years later when i wiped them out they had nothing faster
maybe they research tech but dont modernize designs ?
Hi,If you give them around 200-500k RPs there will be a good chance for them to research at least one tier of engines.
any idea what the lowest possible number of research points for manually created NPRs should be to prevent them from completely gimping themself (start with some engines and geo sensors at least)?
I want to start as conventional and do not want the other powers on Earth to be too far ahead, but they should still be able to build some viable explorers. Will the NPRs actually place a higher priority on geo sensors and engines or do I have to factor in that they will buy a couple of "useless" techs?
