.........where those 2 gaia planets are!!!!
Wow, score!!
(They're not Holy Worlds claimed by a nearby Fallen Empire, are they? Had to ask, since you usually can't get your hands on Gaia planets without a bit of extra effort...)
I think ive done the megacorps bit right - i have 330 credits a month coming in - if i havent got it i can buy it
Yep, that sounds about right. Even your small amount of territory fits the theme, as megacorps are more meant to be played tall rather than wide.
For a first run throuugh im having a blast - the asshats to my west are another megacorps - ive either forgotten or i dont know how to generate as much expansion as theyve managed - theyre not that much more powerful than me - had a war, they hit destroyers a bit before me so they were just about to decimate my last corvette fleet before i could convince them to sign a status quo peace treaty and now everyone is just watching everyones fleets get bigger til the hammer drops - i might wait for cruisers before going in to subjagate them or i might grow a big ass destroyer fleet though
I recommend waiting for cruisers if you can, though of course it depends on how dire your situation is. If necessary, I typically continue to build corvettes (and skip destroyers) in the meantime.
on a side note - i cant find any platform to put missiles on a destroyer - did i break something?
Nope, it's nothing you did. Unlike Corvettes, Destroyers don't have a missile module, unfortunately.
