I absolutely positively hate having to deal with being mineral bound and so tend to exceed the conventional mining capability in my race designs. Given my new understanding of the need for ISB with a -f race I suppose I would reduce the mine settings to free some points for ISB.
|
As a quick example, the last game I played I used the mineral settings of 15/15/5 for my -f. I never built more than 5 mines/turn on a planet, unless it was spectacular in *all* minerals (or one I needed really bad). A tad extreme, but was very enlightening as to what a -f needs for mineral settings. When the game ended I was still gaining more metal than I could use and had nearly 1 MKt of each.
Personally, I would rather go with a 12-13/6/5 on a -f. The cost isn't super painful, and you pay for most of the eff via the # of mines. Just so you understand the implications, though, you need to figure out how much metal you need according too your goals. If we are talking a small or medium game, I would go no worse than a 10-12/4/8, as you will need metal for the early game. For the larger universes, you will have more time to accumulate minerals, and hence the cost of eff is somewhat defrayed by the decrease in operable mines.

ooops...
Rad should be 36 to 86
Race was designed by a friend who does play stars.
This race is not to handicap you, but to bring our the best of your playing. There is no perfect race designn only a perfect style of play.
I'll ask him if he'll redo it and add ISB. We're looking at a medium with more than 12 players.
