Wait do we? I thought that was just for the first design action we take on a ship type (destroyer/cruiser etc) as we work out the teething problems of the new ship class.

Yes? Every time we've done a Design action DP we have for said type increases. I.e. Creating the Navy update had the Destroyers as 6 DP when the next time we designed a destroyer in the Guided by Hands Unseen update it was now 7 DP.

And now at present we have 10 DP play with for Destroyers.

Something to point out: we get 1 DP increase for the class we are Designing per design action. So if we do design 2 light cruisers this turn we could design a brawler/frigate leader light cruiser with 17 DP.

But the question is, do we go straight for it, or do we research and get an extra +2 DP?

Local Mechanicum Magos Focused On Technology Over People, More At 11.
But really, why would he care about the silly Politic-spat instead of Actual Tech-Heresy?

Yes?

Not really. You just grabbed the low hanging fruit at the start with each Class. DP are now far harder to come by.

Yeah, major VI breakpoints, Research projects (Which I guess are improved by having salvage to study) and so forth now?

@HeroCooky what's the difference between rotary and normal macro cannons?

That and using the ships. Surprisingly enough, having something break is a good way to figure out how to make it not do that anymore.

Speed of fire. Rotary Macro-Cannons fire at twice the speed of an ordinary one.

Alectai Edit: And they also take up less space than two Macro-Cannons.

And take up less "Weapon Space" too I imagine, you added that line about how "Technically, you can build a ship of nothing but guns, but it'll move and explode like one too", 1 Light Auto Macro is probably less of a hit on our overall tonnage than 2 Light Macros, is that right?

Desire to intentionally make an over costed ship increases even if it will probably be a bad idea

that's never going to happen, but explosions abound i think...and data recorded and sent to the nearest courier vessel for "how to not make a actual Gun-Vessel...thats made of guns."

as well as "Dont give stuff to orks, its not a good idea ever."

so question, with the neon's plans to drop an exterminatus as soon as possible, does that mean that our ground forces are kind of useless if we don't build any underground bunkers, with supplies, weapons, etc.

There's not really any defense from "Ships move in and bomb the planet to cinders." Except not letting them achieve void superiority in the first place.
