Proportions mod: So confusing!

SJ Said: And don't forget the fact that you could still quickly build a spaceyard that makes units and defenses as fast as normal.

Fyron Said:That isn't the point. And it screws over Organic races, whos units tend to require lots of organics.

Wrong. Well wrong with my idea, maybe right with SJ's. Even with Organic races the units cost four or five times as much in minerals as they do organics. So you can lower the organic build rate significantly and not decrease the rate of unit construction a bit.

SJ Said: You can still build a defense base quickly, you just can't build a base with a full-ability spaceyard.

Fyron Said:You need BSYs there too, not just a few defense bases. And you and Geo are talking about 2 entirely separate systems, so arguements agaisnt one may not apply as well against the other.

Maybe with SJ's idea you are right here too. With mine you don't need BSYs at all, cause your SYS's can build the units at the same rate. But if you want BSY's you can build them, they just take longer. This could be adjusted so that the only things that take any longer to build than they do now is colony ships and BSY's. And those two would only take longer to build when being constructed by a SYS.

Actually my suggestion is the same as SJ's. The only difference is he is saying take out the organic rate completely, I am saying just reduce it, and increase the organic cost of the colony comp and BSY comp.

EDIT: It would make building a spherworld take longer, but anyone trying that in Proportions is just sick anyway.
