Race ideas..

and imagine if i had 25 ularge clusters all 10 k or so 250 k land.......... with negative econ and extra upkeep for ships because I dont have a c3. yes this idea while good if there arent changes to upkeep. if there are then yea

E.4743 U.Large 10,896 10,896 5000 0 10,891 42 Red Crystal
E.6348 U.Large 8,736 8,736 3315 0 8,732 4 Strafez Organism
E.4369 U.Large 12,752 12,752 87 0 12,746 34 Rutile
E.2916 U.Large 11,616 11,616 105 0 11,605 18 Rutile

thats me at the moment. i had plunder when i won a c3 to get borders so is if fair?

EW heres my problem with this. on normal i once had 10 u larges at 9 k or over and then a c2 then borders. if i could cluster u larges then i would have a 90 k ularge without gordoing and i would be punished for it as well as negative econ mods your talking about with the badwolf ideas your talking about

Industry 300% -95% taxes -95% commerce 0% agriculture 0% mining

21 colonies but NO CLUSTERS! This means you`d start by saving good barrens and forests till you can get U ferts and U larges. Also means you`ll have the quality planets on your borders and they`ll be easy to replace... no grinding for hours to make that perfect cluster then babysit for months. Maybe exploring can be a bit harder to balance if need be. This would benefit maru and coll i think, viral should get three ships to reverse.

I like fighter ships.... so i think they should have 3 fighters with different attack types, 3 corvettes, 3 frigates, 2 destroyers, 2 cruisers, 1 battleship and a solid starbase. Maybe the fighters can be the scouts? So they should be able to build decent stacks cheap but will have a weakness lacking heavy hitters.

They`re backstory is.... they`ve adopted anarchy so prefer to fight in individual ships and dislike clusters. They don`t pay taxes and don`t work for corporations. They are highly inventive and industrious, individually becoming very good at industry making goods in private automated workshops. (no excuse to not have regular CGs on market for 3) Some inventions are used for farming and mining. They are also inventive with their individual ships to explain the variations in fighters, ect.

So this race would be great for non grinding, keeping cgs on the market, providing quality planets at low pr and eventually high pr, and i think back story wise its unique...

the only issue i see is if people kill off their populations once theyve maxed food and industry to save on food since theres no taxes.... maybe loyalty can be tied to industry? or lower maintenance -75% costs and offer a small tax -75%? The planets would be more valuable to capture if there was a loyalty incentive of some kind built in.
