The orbital stations aren't starship components or starships in their own right, so I think we can get them in bulk, but buying the weapons can't gain scale modifiers.<br/><br/>You had it right. Each endeavour requires X total Achievement points to be completed, with certain objectives valued at Y achievement points each. Thus, if we spend achievement points, we are that much further away from completing the endeavour (and if we spend enough, that endeavour becomes impossible).<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>If so, this does change our priorities quite a bit.  If ship scale weapons are going to be so difficult to get, we should almost certainly acquire the Salavage Systems and Ships Stores components first, and get as many weapons as we can manage with our remaining acquisitions second.  That way, we can rip the weapons we'll need to equip the orbital platforms from the defeated carcasses of our foes as we explore the sector...  even if the cruiser itself isn't fully equipped when we start, a victory or two will change that...<br/><br/>And yeah, if spending achievement points actually will keep us from completing endeavors, I'd be against it!
