OK, I'm sure that that's the same comet design, in which case we have little to worry about. A planetary shield and one missile base would completely negate those, or even a ship with heavy ion cannons like the star blazer. The Psilons will be a non-issue.
I think I would rather keep the NAP than break it just to scan the Alkari ships. But I think I will be building some planetary shields AND fleet for defense just in case.
As long as only a few large Alkari cruisers have class VI shields, then we will be OK, as long as I also have some heavy ion cannon ships on hand to deal with those few large cruisers. In that case, it would still be worth building missile bases just to deal with the swarms of small fighters that I'm sure would be tagging along as well. I cannot believe they would have any decent shield technology on them (due to space considerations).
