I got it to save space on supplies buildings while also providing population. It now only serves as eye candy, but not when I originally built it. I was in EMA at that point.
Ah I forgot that stuff like the Capitol's supply production could be useful at certain stages for some play styles. I have the bad habit of ignoring secondary affects unless they're FP or something XD. I still wouldn't ever build it (barring aesthetics) unless it's a newer server and Inno is much much harder to get. To each his own.
I'm considering starting a new world just to make a pretty city...building a city with only the best and most efficient structures ends up somewhat boring occasionally.
Oh, after that you can even teach people in OF how to do defense. Hurry up and get there.
Eh, anyone can race through the tech. It doesn't necessarily mean they're experienced or good players. I wouldn't simply judge a camper based on what age they're in. Acquiring knowledge of future ages and the game as a whole doesn't necessarily mean you have to have researched all the tech.
