> I'm going to have to agree with duck. It wasn't too long ago that you only had a single, unfinished FTL-capable ship. Suddenly, at New Condia, that number jumped to 600 with less than a third of the industrial power of the Valkians- and now it's 2000. I thought we were going with more realistic numbers here- and yet in the time it takes the Valkians, with a dozen well established planets and dozens of asteroid shipyards, to manufacture one batch of ships, you've manufactured three or four batches three or four times larger than my own?

> Because in that case,I should be able to have a fleet comparable to anyone else. I do, I think, have a much better industrial setup than everyone else. I say that because all my planets are being mined, with factories on them, with numerous stations in orbit, and with dozens of asteroids that will have even more resources, also being mined. I have, logically, the best footing in industry and production- and yet the Terrans, crafted and written to be inherently smaller and weaker from the get-go, has had fleets that far surpasses anything I could currently summon, even if I were producing cheap weak ships- which I kinda am. 

EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Note to self: Read yer' damn posts. I'll go fix that.
