Default Re: Proportions 2.3 released

No, the problem is that you start with very high income (your homeworld) but it does not increase for awhile (untill you develop several colonies).
At the same time, you can build hundreds of ships. Very soon the maintance cost will eat up all your income. Obvious solution is of course to mothball fleets till the war. Raising the shipcost alone will not help - it will make early game very slow and tedious and will only delay the moment when mothballing becomes a must.
