Default Re: "Gamey" tactics like "Rock, none" races

"Yes. Increase things that are too low. Lower things that are too high. Test. Repeat"

Ever notice how people disagree on which is which, and how it needs to be fixed either way?

"Maint. Reduction is at least in the top 3 most important characteristics, and it's cost should be weighted to reflect that (or maint reduction should be made to work differently)."

No, it shouldn't. IIRC it already costs more, and it's a reduction in -maintaince-. That doesn't directly correlate to production, mainly because there are other things production can be used for.

"Or are you going to tell me that 10 points is maint reduction is equivalent to, say 50 points in Tolerance, or 50 points in Repair?"

Tolerance is a -weird- trait. I'm not claiming that everything is perfectly balanced, but it isn't quite as simple as you think either. Used to be that the main balance complaint was about the APB, not the PPB.
