Actually, I think the simple way to balance CA is just to remove the instant terraform. I do not see any problem with CA's being able to terraform with orbital adjusters as much as they please.

Terraforming for the CA should be 25% cheaper (just as starbases are cheaper for IT, mass drivers cheaper for PP and weaps cheaper for WM's). The resource point cost for CA can be adjusted to provide the negative aspect of being CA, or, something like smart bombs dropped on CA's could do more damage than if dropped on other races - (like the mass packet detriment to IT's). These options provide a balancing negative to being CA.

Additionally, the orbital adjuster module can be more expensive to build - this also helps balance the race better.

My my 2 cents

worth.

A note for Freestars - A would like to see us at least remove the instant terraform for CA's in Freestars and simply make terraforming cheaper for CA's since this is the item that overbalances the CA the most. Though Freestrs is to be a clone of Stars! there is no reason we shouldn't make some improvements at the same time.

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.
