I think of conifold field as a different flavor of IH. How good it is ends up being dependent upon your other techs, unlike IH which can be slotted in anywhere. On the dread, you essentially need 3 IH to add 6 hp to your ship. With this, you need 2 fields and an additional source to get the same result. This is much worse when your source is nuclear, but after any source upgrade this pulls you out ahead overall. I'd rather have the flexibility of IH for sure. But this does a reasonable job when you dont have IH and in certain situations is superior to IH. It makes you think harder which is nice in an expansion rare tech.↧
