The Neinzul Cannon

This was me playing around a bit with a 8 planet start and some of the new stuff.. yeah not really best of ideas, but not playing to win atm :p

Neinzul units would seem to work fairly well given that type of support - a thanatos... er.. neinzul enclave can produce at a rate of around 60 build points a second(3 per tick?), meaning about 6 nanoswarms/sec.. (seem to be slightly less however due to 'undocking' speed, clarification perhaps? wait no, 3 per tick would mean 2/12 are lost? i produced around 50 in a 10 sec period, kinda fits)
This is the same speed as a spacedock produces, mind..

Nanowarms arent particularly deadly mind, but they are kinda funny to watch being spammed ^^
Thats also about one mk2 autobomb per 2 seconds(per ship), sans engineers.

This is quite the fun inquiry into production.. :p


But mostly, as far as i can figure, thats what neinzul enclave starsihps are useful for! Tell me your strategies :)
