Ok, thanks for clearing that up. I was getting the idea that you were going to allow access to all lvl 1 GAs with just one base.

Jupiter was insanely cheesy by the end. You had lxy scouts and SR scouts out after 30 seconds. With the old dreg scout models.

Then again Saturn was an incredibly pimp int whoring faction ...

THAT was what you considered too cheesy? I have all the old stuff from Jupiter on my old PC. I should dig it up and post it.

Their 'Techbase' can build on any tech rock, and then can 'go' any techpath, but they have to buy the ships and the tech and all for that techpath.

You're making all the upgrades available after building a single base?

Andon wrote:QUOTE (Andon @ Oct 30 2008, 01:09 PM) I figure that the 'Standard' should be a bit more expensive because it can build on any tech rock and can go to any tech.

What?

Whats the cost data on tech bases?

Standard - 10k? (12.5k?)
Adv - ??

Keep in mind that if your only prereq is enh ship, you're negating the 25k (31.25k for this faction) upgrade cost.

QUOTE (Andon @ Oct 29 2008, 10:34 AM) The reason we didn't do custom factions was because of the fact that once one faction got the edge on the other faction, they could just keep on rolling, which just shouldn't happen

Thats the only way these are going to end, is if one faction becomes powerful ...

Hull is still to high for ints and probably bombers.

So from what I see, they start with only scouts?

I don't see a problem with adding this ability. As long as its something thats controllable by core files. I.E. Current nan implementation should not restore energy, otherwise Bios are now unstoppable.
