Supposed to be 2 sequels coming up.

The question is not whether the costs and performance are correctly correlated. The issue I raised is that the 34/76 is seldom seen, to the point that it's almost not in the game.

In general terms, there is no point in any game having a unit that is never built, or so seldom as to be close to never. And as someone else pointed out, it is an iconic unit, and precisely the one that you would expect to see fielded by this army in this game.

I'm not making an argument that it should be buffed, or any specific thing. I'm only pointing to the fact that very few players seem to find any reason to build it, and that I think this is a pity. I would like to see the 34/76 appear more often, by whatever means that is achieved.

Astronomers may have found giant alien 'megastructures' orbiting star near the Milky Way

A large cluster of objects in space look like something you would "expect an alien civilization to build", astronomers have said.

Jason Wright, an astronomer from Penn State University, is set to publish a report on the “bizarre” star system suggesting the objects could be a “swarm of megastructures”, according to a new report.

2008 Frankenstein FTL:
Nice troll attempt. New? Blind corporate trust for the loss

You couldn't be more wrong. But there's a big difference between claiming that private interests are inimical to public interests, and claiming that a medieval clan is running the world with their magic powers.

Not a fan of Glenn Beck but one of the few corporate journalists that was brave enough to expose the private banking mafia in corporate mainstream media.

If Glenn Beck told me the grass was green, I would go outside and look for myself. I recommend you do the same. Beck wasn't "fired", he left, and not because he "exposed" anything, but because his bullshit had pissed enough advertisers off that his show was tanking.

What this stuff about the Federal Reserve has to do with anything is not at all clear to me. For some reason, many Americans seem to think the Fed is a BFD; I assume this is because their understanding of economics is poor.

And as for "private banking mafia", this is by no means news. Back in 1776, when Adam Smith published The Wealth Of Nations, he pointed out that "wherever merchants of the same trade gather together... they engage in a conspiracy against the public." This is the mundane sort of conspiracy, not the rolled up trouser-legs and secret handshakes variety. This is built in to capitalism; it does not require any special organisations, or blood oaths, or magical rituals.

Not going to bother discussing this, live in self denial if you want. At least I am mentally prepared, good luck to those that are not.

But you aren't. You're going to be looking in completely the wrong direction.

While it might not be quite what you're looking, there are a whole bunch of episodes from a 1960's American TV series called 'Combat!' on youtube. B&W of course, but the depiction and tone are certainly realistic.
