I suggest to lower the cost of Starliner life support module from 1K to 500 organics. As it is now, Straliner capable to carry 2 people cost TWICE as staliner with basic life support that carries 1 people (I add all 3 resources together).
For most races organics are precious and used up eesily by colony ships and advanced buildings. I build "true" starliners only when play Organic race. In all other cases it is much more cost effective to use basic life support. It may look as a minor issue but it sort of kill the idea of starliners with specialized life support for millions of people and converts them into generic big transports
Reduced cost will not unbalanced the game, you still won't be able to maintain more than 20 starliners for a long time (unless Organic of course, but that fits the race character anyway
)
