um. no it don't. it just means that there will be more dock kills. Think about it. Besides, with 2500 turns, that kind of nullifies the effect of making them more expensive. With 2500 turns, in a stock merf, with stock port settings, I could pull in 2.75 mill starting from scratch. 2.75 mill at those prices gets me enough cash to get a red doing about 100 holds. Which is where most peeps start. With 2500 turns of a red doing SST at even 100 holds...well. I've got enough cash to get everything I need.

Won't work either. If probes exist, they will be used, no matter how expensive, no matter the probe delay, or how few you put on ships.
Given a choice between spending 2 turns to look at 1 sector, or 1 turn to look at many....even 12k probes are a steal. And with 2500 turns of red goodness, running full SDT, I can afford to have one of my blues spend the 2500 turns doing nothing but probes, and get about 100% explored on day one.

I'm sorry, I usually don't mock people, but are you joking? 80:1? 17,280,000 figs to kill it? Heh. I assume you meant 8:1. those odds with the 4x multiplier is only 32:1
so it's really only 6,912,000 figs to kill. With an iss thats um...4.6 mill? Now, with 8 planets shooting off cannons at you...

consider a blue must waste 500k on commish, and that there prolly wont be single aligned corps i think this will make for a fair and interesting game.
heh, more like waste 70k, or whatever planets and dets cost. Or however many figs it costs to kill a port. Whichever is more convienient at the time.
If you want to slow them down, consider the following settings:
limit atomic dets to ISS only.
no probes on ANY ship.
THAT will slow their asses down.
