Ah, yes, you simply can't play anno 2070 through steam, it doesn't support it. This was supposed to be fixed ages ago, but recent updates to the game have messed with the fix. You have to play Anno through the Ubisoft launcher.
For me, that meant having to buy the game a second time, but I'm sure you can contact Ubisoft and work out something, even if it is just getting a refund off steam for a non-functional game.

Just because it is an old design, does not mean that they used old materials, weapons and shields too. Just because it is a Destiny-class ship, does not mean that it is locked into the same role, ships can and are refitted all the time - look at the TEC, for example; all their craft (barring titans) used to be mining or cargo ships, now they are powerful warships - but they are still the same class of ship.
Essentially, the Destiny class is a proven design. A civilian design, yes, but a proven one. It is no different from taking a modern cargo ship, sticking a few machine gun emplacements on it and refitting it's storage bay as a military hospital and supply hold, then keeping it away from, but close to the battles as a support ship. They did this to civilian ships all the time in WW2, the most notable of which is the Olympic, the Titanic's sister ship, which was refitted as a mobile hospital.
It wouldn't be all that hard for the Asurans to stick a few extra guns and shields on a proven design such as this and call it a support craft, especially as a colony capitol.

Ya missed

It would probably be much easier to simply replace the wormholes with mass relays, from a programming perspective, and have all the mass relays connect to each other. Remove star-to-star travel from the tech tree, make wormhole travel (the relays) automatic and you get the same sort of strategy you're talking about.

Am I the only one who thinks that looks a heck of a lot like... well... male genitalia? Don't get me wrong, I've your work so far, all your ships are expertly designed, but this is bugging me something fierce. Considering this is a canon design, that says something...
What is it about huge dongs and humanities need to, basically, stick it in their enemy's face and say 'mine's bigger'? lol
