The PDS "Generations" Concept is supposedly going to use a new hierarchy of research options, however. Edited by Tristan on 14-09-2007 21:20

If you don't want to include that, I recommend that you greatly increase the buildtime and price of capital ships, in order to make tham less attractive at first.

An escort Battlecruiser costs 4000 Ru's. With that money you can build 4 or 5 squads of LSF II's that will totally pwn the battlecruiser.
