Some quick comments:
You have put the cost of both Punishment Spheres and Genejack Factories as 10 rows = 80 minerals. This should either be 8 rows or 100 minerals.
It might also be a good idea to mention one other tactic of countering the drones from military while running FM -- all specialist bases.

The mods like ming may stop by if they have a complaint- He was on the job fairly quick when blockhead was ranting
- plus I think Ming did whatever was necessary for the democracy game to run

2 uses for Aquafarms:
1. New bases with Aquafarms can support more boreholes earlier, and allow you to delay building Tree Farms and Hybrid Forests.
I rarely build "pure sea bases"; I tend to go for coastal or "archipelago bases" where I can put boreholes on the limited land area and kelp/tidal everywhere else.
If your terraforming outpaces base growth, you can wind up with too many boreholes and not enough food. The Aquafarm raises the threshold at which this becomes a problem.
You could trawler, pop boom, or even pod boom your way out of this temporary problem, but sometimes it's easiest just to buy an Aquafarm. At 2 credits per mineral small buildings like the AF are super-cheap.
2. Increased population post-Habdome & Vats.
More population means more specialists and higher score, if you care about that. In addition, if you used trawlers before the late-game so as not to need the Aquafarm, when you eventually do build one your trawlers gain an extra morsel as well.

Thankyou for the bumpage, I'm back to my normal "number crunching psycho" self as from tommorrow morning.
What a couple of weeks... you wouldn't believe it

Easier, lazier, less efficient.
I'm not wanting to encorage people to take the lazy option. Its better to have thought ahead, seeded your kelp and pop a trawler out. Sure, Aquafarms have their uses, but there are almost always better things to buy/build at the time, untill very late in the game... (in which case build nut sats instead of aquafarms and help ALL your bases) ...and post Habdome it doesn't really matter what you build does it?
My comments are mostly intended to aid in the early/mid games vs Human opponents.

Hey jam are you planning on putting this in a downloadable text file? Trying to capture it all from your post is a little hard, thanks!

Can I put this info in the wikibook? Of course this means it would be placed under the GNU Free Documentation License, meaning other people will be free to copy and modify it...but not without credit, I believe.

I don't think it's ever going to be more "secure", because it's already secure. Wikis, especially official WikiMedia sites such as Wikibooks, have a very efficient system for handling vandalism. A study done by IBM showed that most vandalism on the main Wikipedia was reverted within five minutes, for example. I dare you to find a part of Wikipedia or Wikibooks that's actually unreliable or corrupted 
Trust me, I've made hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of edits on wikis and almost never come across vandalism except when looking through the history of a page. We could discuss this on AIM or through PM, but I think most of your answers will be here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipe...mmon_objections
The bottom line, though, is that many people keep track of changes through the Recent Changes page and will likely notice vandalism pretty quickly. And if nobody else does, I will, and I have the power to revert a page just like anybody else. A wiki's ability to be modified is a strength, not a weakness...just look through the history of the pages already in the SMAC guide of the wikibook. I've corrected others' mistakes, others have corrected my mistakes, and they have even added useful information of their own! Not once has the book been vandalized yet.
Moreover, the wikibook is going to need the information anyway, and that means I'd either write it myself (meaning information is more likely to be inaccurate as I'm not an expert player, so I'd have to waste other people's time as they correct my mistakes), or I'd find another source to copy which may be inferior.
Sorry to have gone on such a long little digression, but I'm just acting in what I think is in the best interest of everybody. Are you sure you don't want it in the wikibook?
