True early on, but at that point ships aren't really worth it in general. Once you have lighter armor materials like carbon nanotubes, combined with mid-late game engines, armoring the sides absolutely is an option. Also you have lighter heatsinks then in case you don't want to spare a lot of...

What kind of shitty transfer window did you take to spend 6.5 kps to get from Earth to a Luna station?

That's not bad for the year. Though gunships, a bit small to be survivable. I've found that the smallest ships die quite often in space battles. Frigates have 4 utility slots, so i'm trying using them as marine secondaries while being perfectly good combat ships, what else i'm gonna do with 4...

Ship numbers early are not nearly as important at they sound. Better have no ships than have shitty early ships that can't do much, eat resources, and are just practice targets for the aliens. You don't even get much resources back when you scrap them. How ahead are you in station construction...

That won't help you much. If you want to do it without more nukes flying, you need to increase unrest and then use it to support a coup. Shouldn't be hard with Russia. If you can sneak a purge through between their control point protection refresh or have enough investigation to power a...

In late 2032 now, had a little nuclear war between Eurasian Union and Protectorate controlled China, destroyed it's armies conventionally with aid from Japan and Germany i also control, some of my armies got nuked when trying to occupy Beijing, retaliated with Eurasian nukes which created...

Better kill the global GDP than lose completely. What has the global GDP done for you? Not that it will mean much. Nuked India several times and even China once, nothing particularly significant happened outside of them (India is a bit of a basket case though, even several years afterwards). Get...

Hard reset of enemy assets is always an option. And i mean the "purge them with nuclear fire" option. You need surprisingly little of that to make a country effectively worthless.

And a pretty obvious tip for game start - start by taking over UAE and/or Saudi Arabia, and set them on a high spoils policy. They are easy enough to take over for the early game people without orgs or experience, AI isn't very interested in them, and in few turns this will ensure that you will...
