It's actually kind of strange, i don't use the Mobile Builder almost ever; if i'm going to take the planet i just steamroll it and slap up a command station, and if i'm not i'm usually just passing through.

If we weren't going for your money, you wouldn't have gotten as much value for it!

Oh, wait... *causation loop detonates*

It's useful for knowledge raiding, you can keep your fleet somewhere else, just drop a FF in and build a couple turrets and counter-snipers and you're good to go.

I use nukes occasionally.  I generally don't use armored or tachyon missiles though.

Mobile builders are key for being able to build power plants on ai owned worlds.

Yea the warheads honestly need to be revamped/balanced.  The AIP costs for most of them (sans Lightning) do not even begin to outweigh the benefits.  Like the tachyon and EMP missles shouldn't even cost AIP the resource cost should be sufficient (if not increase it).  Armoured Warheads are in the similar AIP boat, but Nukes are just something else entirely.  They'd be fine if FFBearers didn't make everything immune, which means detonating a nuke is next to useless since by the time they're potentially useful theres a billion FFBearers covering everything.

Acid sprayer shields are amazing, they can serve as a distraction if nothing else.  They do well at killing zenith ships.

Armored Warheads.. does anyone really use them (at 40+ AIP ???)
And mines.. heh - the recent buffs didn't really fix the issue at hand with them.

Well this poll actually is very interesting.. if only we could sort the display of the results (i hate SMF)

Also - Crystal/Metal Manufacturers are always unlocked (unless you mean something else?)

using them actually, of course if you are running out of resources using them would be a good idea so,  but my idea is i never would want to waste resources, not even for something i need badly, at most i'll pause everything else to get the job done

like when do you need 1 billion health, my warhead usually survives to my destination, if not clear the worm hole entrance with fleet first, then use transports with bombers if nessasary
