what so special about OKO race ?

[hellatze]

they only use sinew on their ships. that sinew do nothing at all.

and making big tree on planet usually waste of space too, they doing nothing good :(

i recommend they only need water to move to tier 2 planets. they are plants, why they need meat and grain in first place :P.

Sinew is tough, and acts as bridge. Much easier to build sturdy ships with it.

can be replaced with armor that sinew.

armor cost 4 times the labor sinew cost

thats depending on design anyway.

oko tend to have lots of weak weapon but moderate armor.

Or mind to tell me how to armor the engine, missile and rail cores like that without sinew?
(Granted - missile and engine cores could be armored much better, but that's not the point)

the hell?

Thank you FourGreenFields for posting that screenshot, I did not realize you could shoot through Sinew. This opens up many possibilities!

Yeah sinew can be shot through. Which means you can make broadside ships with lots of guns with no penalty to durability.

Their strength is the sinew being extremely good armour. Their weakness is that they require lots of micro to get their planets developing and those trees take up space... space you need for factorys and stuff.
