Proportions mod: So confusing!

Another thing I've noticed. I've been trying to start a new game and if I select an Existing Race template, I get a error (unable to open file). I can create a new race emp file without a problem.

The emp files have to be created for Proportions. The ones included with Proportions should work. Ones from the original game, or shipsets not made for Proportions, won't work.

However, when I check all races scores visible to all races and start the game, the ABBIDON and the EEE have ridicuously high research/population and scores compared to all the rest of the races. Any idea why this is happening? It's consistant, you should be able to see it for yourself or I can send you a save game if you wish. I'm using Version 1.78.

I actually did not see this in the few tests I just ran, but I expect that due to your other settings, including un-checking "player homeworlds are all the same size" that they are getting larger planets than the others in your games, probably because they live on Gas Giants, and there are no small Gas Giants. Choosing low value planets will cause this.
