No I haven't wondered because the nimcha has 2x the hp and 2x the shielding and 50% more cargo storage so it always made sense that the nimcha was slower

Not really IMO. I'd built myself a Terran megafactory, but I eventually found myself substituting commonwealth production and supply chain where I could in my shipbuilding operations. The simple production chain just isn't worth 10 times the raw resource cost when I can just do the work of setting up the commonwealth supply chain that I'm going to need anyway to sell ships to the commonwealth factions.

@Arc in the early game yes. in the late game, Terran is by far the easiest ship and equipment to build.

The real solution is to not use Terran ships and equipment. In nearly every scenario you're better off using commonwealth when you look at the costs for what you get.

Gonna assume the reasoning behind the scenes for it being slower was because of its enlarged cargo capacity. Still, having dual engines should've been able to compensate for that fact and bring it at least in balance with the Rapier.

god bless

@hurepoix Yes, this game doesn't make any sense role-playing wise. But there's no other game like this. But good news, we can mod the hell out of it.

And why the new xenon PE with four engines is not four time faster than the previous P that have only one engine, when the hull is almost the same ?
And Why Xenon I which is 15 time bigger than a Raptor have only half raptor s HP ?
