And for the record.
Everybody except Aspen and Talis need to button up your big boy pants. It's like if I died you guys wouldn't know what to do with yourselves!

Well my dossier is finished for the moment, though finding some more stuff to add to it as I write my first D2D. Speaking of the D2D, sorry everyone who wants to read it, the first one is turning out to be a long one.

Question: If I buy an extractor with this 25 credits I get, can I also buy my ships right away or would I have to wait until the turn is over?

I'd like to change a little bit of my dossier, just the bit about government, to fit the Centicrus civilization better. I figure if I'm going to do it, I'd better do it now rather than later. If you could unlock the thread, or just change out the government information for the following, I'd appreciate it.
Government of the UCLC is complicated, to say the least. There are a great number of "member states" within the government, all of which, in theory, contribute to the ruling council which passes laws. In practice, the best term for its governing mechanisms is "Autocracy." The criteria for getting on the council vary wildly from state to state, but usually has to do with having enough power, wealth, and influence to get an appointment. The council is full of powerful industrialists, media moguls and School Heads who exercise control by filling the vast Union Bureaucracy with their lackeys. No one argues that it's a corrupt system, but it is surprisingly effective.

With the Brutal Trait and Starport construct, you could drop destroyers down to 1 credit each. Which is kind of ridiculous and will create balancing issues as a person could literally just spam destroyer after destroyer. Why don't we limit that only capital ships get the -1 credits to build ships bonus from starports? Carriers, Battleships, and Dreadnoughts. Or if you don't want to do that, consider reinstating Xenophite requirements for Destroyers (which makes sense).

Yeah I don't know why we did away with the xenophite on the destroyers. I thought it was a good balancing portion to the ships so that way they couldn't be spammed regardless of traits or constructs. With how much everyone can make even now, someone could buy a ton of destroyers rather easily.

I agree: The only unit that shouldn't require xenophite is the Conscript unit, since it is really just inferior infantry. The Destroyer actually has a valuable role, and plus it's a spaceship after all.

Indeed. If you want a starship that doesn't require xenophite, something like a Gunship or Corvette would be more appropriate. Perhaps an in-system warship you can use for defense and patrols, but wouldn't be much use in a fight.

Or Freighter Class since we have established those already in the skirmish of Dis and Astrea
