T-Form Plan revised

[arginine]

as for terraforming gangs, instead of infantry transports, 2 terraformers, one terraforming every other turn will do just as well.

[Chaunk]

Or better still one rover former roading every turn. Saves one min support, over transport/former combo, so over 18 turns (I think? Might be 27...) it pays for itself. Great thing to aim for from a pod pop too, preferably armoured with trance.

[arginine]

Rover former... Those cost 5 rows vs 2 for a standard t-former. It's worth it for forming flat squares. I'm not so sure for a rolling squares. I guess, a good terraforming gang would have 3 formers and 1 rover former. It would move about 2/3 a square and maybe build a sensor every 5 squares.

Can pod pops complete prototypes?

[jtsisyoda]

Yes, they can... especially useful for super-expensive crawlers.

[Archaic]

Interesting. I've never managed it with a prototype before, but I didn't know if it was impossible, or if I was simply unlucky.

[Chaunk]

You can actually get anything to completion... I once popped a scout patrol to completion. Boy was I annoyed....

[Archaic]

I've had that myself a few times. I know the feeling.

[jtsisyoda]

Important Note:
Do not change production after a successful auto-complete. You lose all the minerals and can't get them back.

Which base gets the autocompletion when you pop the pod.

Complete anything, you say? Mmmm, pop a SP...

its always the nearest base, switch that base Pop and then switch back if you didnt get it.
