PBW PvK Proportions Game #2

[PvK]

Here are my notes on the empire cost changes in 3.0:

code:

---

 

  --------------------

  Empire Cost Changes:

  --------------------

* Lowered value of "Advanced Power Conservation" to 900 points.

* Lowered value of "Supply Guzzlers" to -700 points.

* Lowered value of "Natural Merchants" to 1500 points.

* Renamed "Propulsion Experts" to "Transcendental Navigation" with a new

  description, since it has a bizarre disproportionate effect.

* Added a new "Propulsion Experts" trait, which is a new racial tech

  area that provides better propulsion components.

* Renamed "Mechanoids" to "Plague Immune" and dropped cost to 400 points.

* Physical Strength values lowered.

* Intelligence costs tweaked. "Dumb" races get more points back.

* Cunning adjusted per PvK Balance Mod.

* Happiness and Environmental Resistance values slashed, but Happiness 

  ranges increased, in light of research into lack of effect of racial 

  Happiness.

* Reproduction maximum increased. Now limited only by cost.

* Aggressiveness and Defensiveness adjusted per PvK Balance Mod.

* Political Savvy adjusted per PvK Balance Mod.

* Resource extraction aptitudes left as in Proportions 2.5.3.1.

* Construction Aptitude adjusted per PvK Balance Mod, except positive 

  threshold. Also extended allowed minimum range to 25.

* Repair Aptitude adjusted per PvK Balance Mod, with increased min and 

  max values.

* Maintenance Aptitude left as is, because it uses SJ's base-100 system.
