I've got the save.
Re the above, I think that I am with Ref on not wanting to build laser fighters when NPGs are coming soon. I will probably increase weapon spending some for the time being, as I really want both that and Fusion bombs.
I was worried about the Sakkra getting Death Spores, but if the Alkari have them that is even worse! Spore ships with shields that our bases can't hit in the first place! Aah!
Also we are going to get IT+30 soon, which will help a lot in that department, although if the Alkari already have Spores they should have some pop increases too.
