Strategy notes
Standoff Bombardment Planning develops the HeavyRockets discipline within Missile Siege Fleet. Project sustained long-range force through guided ordnance, heavy siege missiles, and protected fuel logistics. Its immediate value is -4% fleet wages. The principal counterpressure is that point defense, fast interception, ammunition raids, and attacks on slow supply fleets can break the siege.
Player hints
This is a specialization milestone. Reaching it reveals stronger combinations, but broad tier-three investment will slow every capstone. Favor this technology when its HeavyRockets benefits reinforce your current economy, fleets, or frontier. Pause the branch if its expected RP per tick is too diluted or its resource costs would stall higher-priority projects.
