General Race Tech / Pirate Race / Pirate Colony Tech text is misleading
If you select "General Race" and "Pirate Race", you'll get double items .. yet the pirate buildings are not better then the general ones ?[/b]
e.g.
- Escort & Raider hull, 200kt, 200/100/100 costs
- 2x Colony Ship, 500kt, 300/200/50 and 250/250/250 costs
- Space Port, Res.depot, Constr.yard 1, SysCapital ... AND .. Space Port, Res.Depot, Constr.Yard 1, Open Market
- Intelligence Center 1, Secred Service 1, Spy Center 1, Spy Network 1
- 2x Research Center
etc etc.
Interestingly enough, if "General Race Tech" is de-selected, you get ONLY slave ressource facilities as if you had chosen the slaver trait. What I did not only on the 3rd try, because there's no hint that both get you actually the same things. Yet, those are not vastly better than the standard ones as the text from the pirate trait selection screen suggests?!
