    It goes without saying that we should be aiming for the VW, but which other projects should sit high on our agenda? The PTS and HGP would certainly help with both our borging and our general drone worries, however the WP's not without its charms either. We stand a decent chance of actually making all of the projects with those min/rocky squares, but which should be our main focus?

        I'd say, in a rough order of priority:

        1) VW (naturally)
        2) PTS
        3) WP
        4) HGP

          I'd go with GT. While HGP is nice to have, it isn't essential. I'd probably rate WP over PTS myself, but not by a large margin.

            Well, my reasoning for putting the PTS before the WP is that once we get the VW and have a Free Market with some Psych going, we'll be able to expand like mad using it without too mayn Drone problems, and the extra production capacity will help make up for less terraforming capacity.

              Yes, the VW sounds perfect for the Uni, since we get Network Nodes for free... (evil grin)

                FYI, in my experience

                PTS + VW = No Drones for any base of size 3 or lower up to the 2nd Efficiency Warning on Demo/FM/Wealth w/ 0% Psych.

                  I would put HGP second, simply because dealing with our drone problems will likely be one of our major concerns as we expand. Otherwise, I go with GT's order.

                    First I wondered why everyone was so worried about drones. Then I started my first single-player game on Transcend difficulty. Ouch. Pure evil...

                      Being a hardcore builder, I always went for the WP after the VW.

                        Yeah, Timbba, at Transcend the drones bite. Worse yet, try the Drones and se what we're really worried about!

                          Very interesting considerations. Of course, VW is number one in our priorities list, and PTS make a nice complement to it... but I'd say we need good terraforming capabilities, so I'd put WP in second, anyway.
                          I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

                            Well, there seems to be consensus on these four projects, at any rate. We can work out the specific priority ordering after the VW later, when we begin actual production.

                              Besides, given the fact that we have two mineral bonuses right next to University Base, it shouldn't take us that long to build each project - hell, with those two squares alone, we could build the WP in only 15 turns even without Wealth (13 with it).
