I just wanted to get the ball rolling with some of the decisions, so here are some of my opinions on how we could spend our resources. I know I seem fixated with wealth but it just seems that we're really starving for ships and support and the best way to get both is probably to establish a solid income.<br/><br/><strong>Defence: (16)</strong><br/><br/><em>I’m not really sure we have a choice…</em><br/><br/>10 Points: A very slow, unwieldy ship, incapable of outrunning or outmaneuvering any attacker.  Any attacker can dish out damage freely<br/><br/><strong>Subordinate: (23) </strong><br/><br/><em>I’m thinking one or two of the choices below, the repair ship might save our poor ship’s life but we’re also in desperate need of some wealth. The mining ship might rely a little too much on luck for my tastes as I have no idea how easy it is to find a mine...</em><br/><br/>Tylium Refinery (Either) (20): Add 1 to Fortune Rolls<br/><br/>Freighter (Either) (10): Increase Wealth by 1 for every ten points spent.<br/><br/>Mining Ship (Civilian) (10): Add 2 to Wealth when a mine is available<br/><br/>Repair Ship (Either) (20): Improves chances of single unit's survival after battle<br/><br/><strong>Wealth: (17)</strong><br/><br/><em>If "Steward" means more wealth then I’m voting we spend it on that! We could spend our Wealth on a security force, if we really believe it can help to fill the role of anti-boarding, but I’m not really sure how effective it will be or if it’s worth sacrificing an opportunity for more wealth.</em><br/><br/>Artisan (15): Choose one benefit when you invest in this (may be chosen more than once with different bonuses)<br/>Engineer-Cover benefits from fortifications increase the Defence by +1.<br/>Steward-+1 to the results of your House Fortunes rolls.<br/><br/>Security Force (15): A security force (green garrison) is on hand on the main ship.  Shuttles may be used to transport them as needed.<br/><br/><strong>Power: (20) </strong><br/><br/><em>Since our ship is slow and unwieldy, we’ll probably have to worry about the enemy either boarding it or simply filling it with holes. I’m thinking we spend our resources on something that can take down fighters and transports rather than fight off boarding parties, hopefully killing two birds with one stone. As I mentioned under Wealth, we could probably sacrifice an opportunity for Wealth on a Security Force.</em>
