A question regarding the make-up of the spaceship.

[Gendel]

Preface:

I'm going for the spaceship victory in my current game but I'm in a tight race with two other civs. I'm miles ahead in points but I'd hate to lose this thing because someone builds their ship first, so......

The question:

Has anyone done a breakdown on the number and combination of components needed to build the ship quickly and most efficiently?

[Dida]

simple go in and destroy their ships before they can launch it.

[Todd Hawks]

You need only one component of each so there is no real choice. Just build them.

You can look at the ship screen (some F-key, F10 I think) to see which techs you need to build the components and which components are currently built in which city.

If you you want to know what the other Civs are up to you can see what components they are building at the ship screen and then use a spy to first check out where they are building them (investigate city) and then sabotage them.

If all fails you can take their capital and thus destroy their space ship.
