*braces for the CC hate squad to show up*
I like it. It has all of the XC changes that I like (increased fuel for figs, saner RPs, Dreg nerf), none of the crazy @#(! I don't. :-)
Boo on reverting Bios paydays, but I guess I'm in the minority on that one. Looks like Bios will be really weak in the early game but will return to its "we will payday our way back to dominance if you fail to end the game in half an hour" status.

Looks like I am going to have to change out of the CC camp. They are just making every faction unplayable except for a few.

So you're planning on introducing a faction with no nans and then dying of a heart attack leaving apochboi to pick up the pieces of your work?

Wouldn't it be more balanced if you could research cruisers in starbase? I think that a lot more people would upgrade the garrison then and it would finally make starbase useful.

I like the payday restoration but Bios will have an extremly hard time without Prox especially against lt int factions.
I am also sad to see Seeker2 in Sup only - imho its a pretty important tech for factions like Giga/GT to have a chance in the early game vs Rix.
Oh well guess we see how it works out.
