xenophobic harassment in 6224

#1 Post by markpi »

hi,
i tried a game with trith, one of my ( ex ? ) favourite species,
and got a small phinnert planet quite early
i was astonished that the harassment penalty exceeded the actual production
by quite a bit ( i guess they stole ship parts from my fleet )
they only started to get some pp after i developed fusion generation
to me it would make more sense when the penalty was in % of the actual production
anyway i think its good for the species balance,
maybe the gysache need a nerf, too, in future

Hmmm, that's the flat -1 portion of the harrassment kicking in. Yandonman had added that to be sure the penalty would apply even if the planets only PP were the +5 from Automation, but story-wise there's probably no need for that, balance-wise it doesn't really seem necessary to me anyway, and as it stands it certainly does seem to stick out like a sore thumb to folks.

Does anyone else want to opine on the pros or cons of removing the fixed -1 portion of the xenophobic harassment penalty?
