PBW PvK Proportions Game #2

[PvK]

I haven't figured out exactly what the values will be yet for the space facilities, which is why I haven't promised to include them.

The values will scale quite a bit depending on how much research you put into them. At first, they may mainly provide a way to invest mainly minerals (from construction and maintenance) in order to generate rads (solar generation) or organics (space greenhouses) or research and intel (space labs). The efficiency of this won't be very great until you invest enough research in it. The other trade-off is there will be no way to protect these with planetary shielding and the best arcs of weapon platforms, so such infrastructure will be harder to protect from raiders. On the other hand, it opens possibilities for doing things like hiding infrastructure in unexpected places, and even becoming less dependent on planets, but with significant research investment.

I think cloaking is possible, but not easy. Proportions requires scale mounts for cloaking components, so the cost scales with size, and these things are big and their main limiter is efficiency, even without expensive defenses added.
