The previous few games, we sold our cargobays to the ports, so that this game, we could be silly and...
We built a solar on blitz!

IMO, Blitz should be part of the game, but with some changes.
- The solar itself should only be available for 40% of games
- Max 1 shot, maybe 60 bursts per second.
- Eats up metal ore at 10-100* times the rate (i.e 200 metal ore would be eaten in 2 minutes)
- Can only be bought, prices change per game, but between 1.2-2.5m
The idea of having another strategic side to blitz would be cool. Somebody could be allocated the job of keeping the solar alive, and so going and doing metal ore runs. Besides, a slow shooting one shot wouldn't even make much difference.
* I dont know how fast a regular solar eats ore...
