New Game: Gritty Galaxy

[Emperor's Child]

Some thoughts for your up-coming mod:

Emissive Armor: My initial thoughts on the Emissive armor is that it was top heavy on cost for the amount of gain you get for it. Maybe that re-balances better toward the top end of its development, but on the low side of the tech scale it is pretty costly and large for its modest combat contribution.

Intel (Shipbombs): Another thought I've had is whether or not you want to continue with shipbombs as a intel project. The crushing difficulty of repair makes an intel-attack that gives your ship damage very difficult to respond to. Though there are counter-intel projects, this aspect of the game is processed player by player in sequence...so the guy at the top of the queue has a VERY large advantage in this area throughout the game.
I'd recommend that the small ship-bomb be increased to the price of the "standard" ship bomb (50k), the standard ship-bomb be increased in price to 100k, and the large one get increased to 300k in order to tone-down their effect on play.
