Balancing Race Construction

[Phoenix-D]

Advanced Power Conservation: 500

Maybe..

Mechanoids: 250

Plague bombs are pretty powerful weapons; I'd say 500.

Lucky: 250

Again, this is more important than it might appear. Having your star blow up really, really sucks.. this is more valuble the more events come into play.

Natural Merchants: 250

One free facility per star system, no chance of going broke because you lost a spaceport or three. This is worth more than 250

Advanced Storage: 1250
Not sure what the default point value is; if it's less than the changed value I agree.

Hardy Industrialist: 1250
Remeber that it only affects planet-bound ship yards..

Psychic: 1000
Eep! Two words. Alligance Subverter! This is quite easily worth 1500. Also has training facilities that work anywhere in the system, which means your ships can be training *and* guarding your choke points at the same time.

Religious: 2000
Too expensive for little gain other than the Talisman.

Temporal: 100

Temporal shipyards are quite a nice thing to have, so are the weapons. Compare this to the 1250 point Advanced Construction and remember that temportal gives you more than just fast yards

Crystallurgy: 750 (alternately, make their armor-piercing weapon a lot stronger)

Eep! Check out the Crystalline armor sometime.

Organic: 1500
Good.

Emotionless: 250
heh. This would actually GIVE you points. You get 800 right now for dropping the happyness to min. It needs to be at least 1100 IMO; riots can really ruin your day.
