[Ehndras]

I micromanage to utterly ridiculous levels, so its yet to happen. Probably will at some point.

[Culise]

Same.  I never had a case where I lifted the last mass driver from Earth, and thus failed to figure out how other people were accomplishing this for quite some time. 

[Dorsidwarf]

I produce mass drivers when I need them and immediately move the number produced, so it's never come up

[Flying Dice]

Nope. I only build what I need and micromanage heavily.

[Ehndras]

TBH though, after the great Sorium Crash, Earth was no longer Humanity's homeworld, and mostly became a backdrop to everything going on elsewhere, so... Hmm. I wonder how long it'll be until I depopulate Earth completely.

[RAM]

Meh, don't depopulate Earth, you still need somewhere to dump all the telephone cleaners...

How many crew remain in life pods?

[Shooer]

How ever many get into the escape pods.

How ever many get into the escape pods.

^ Pretty much. It's usually pretty low and it isn't usually worth the risk to save them since you usually accrue a massive number of reserve crewmen (I was on Training Level 5 from the start and have AT LEAST 600,000 reserve crewmen. Probably more, I haven't checked in a while.)

Sometimes, the ship commander will also be one of the individuals in the life pods, so if they're a decently skilled commander you can still sometimes save them.

[Ehndras]

Plus, NPR's who capture your pods can interrogate your officers and gain valuable intelligence about your empire. Potential baaaaaad, mkay. Especially if they're a higher level commander. Not to mention, its great RP material

If you don't do your best to save pods you're space-scum.

Exactly what sensitive information can the aliens learn from captured crewmen? I was under the impression that it was simple stuff like ship tonnage/speeds, and other relatively harmless info.

[Ehndras]

Same as we can, I believe. JP's, planetary specs, troop strength, ship data, research points, etc.

[Shooer]

Yeah the NPRs can learn the location of your colonies.  The AI only really hunts for you if they know where you are.  So the AI doesn't send many war fleets offensively unless they know of a colony of yours.

This okay for a PDC/Fighter/ASM combo?

I know the missile doesn't hit very hard but its the Mark 1 version and most certainly will be replaced with a superior version later.
