Phased Polaron too easy to research?

Raynor, I always play with race-specific traits, but even if I did not, the range factor discourages me from using PPB's. Even if an AI had PPB V's and I had WMG's, I could stay ouside his range and just hit him every 3rd turn (in tactical combat). That is the generic weapon I would suggest.

I guess I just prefer weapons that fire every turn. It makes the battle seem to go faster.

Mainly, though, *not* researching anything else besides the PPB lets me spend more on other research areas.

As to the huge galaxy question, I read it on another post and did it. I remember something like editing the Systems.txt file and changing the line from 100 to 250 (I think 255 is the max). If I'm wrong, someone please correct me. Of course, if you do this, you'll probably want to get someone's system names file or you'll end up with a lot of systems with no names and that becomes confusing.

Thanks!

And as to game length, my games easily Last 300-400 turns. EPIC GAMES!!!

Wow! I'm doing mop-up work in my latest game, and it is turn 220. And this has been a long game! (Playing in a large galaxy)

Thanks for the info!
