IMO, IT race needs LESS points, or, at least make -f IT not that powerful at the early game and late game

I agree in early game IT is very strong, because it can gate around pop and minerals, thus making it very fast. But that's about the only thing it has, besides being expensive. When nubians come around (late game), they lose lots of their advantage, as everybody can gate missile ships. Besides, 1/800 people resources is hideous expensive for what is offers. IMO not many experienced players would pick that. For a -f is IMO more important to have excellent tech and good hab. 1/800 can't afford any.

PP IS POWER, if have something for better startup. If you launch a game with 50 year startup with only factories/mines built on starting HW, PP wins all other races

That's exactly the reason why in most forced-gen games (or games with very small amount of planets) packets are forbiden, or severely limited. I wanted to give PPs more minerals, because for everythign what they can do, they need minerals, and at the end they don't have them enough for ships.

AR - do you know how powerful AR can be at the later game?

I do. But they need to survive early game. Wink

Instead of adding RW points, I would give ... AR starting Construction 7 and Electronics 4 for better mining robots right from start.

That's IMO one solution to avoid early mineral crunch that makes ARs so vulnerable in early game. Hovewer in previous notes there was not mention of changing starting tech.

you propose to make difference between SD and SS as much as 91 RW points!!! But SD is not that much more powerful than SS, specially in economy. And SS plays much better against SD minefields than others. Why SUCH big difference then???

SD is MUCH stronger in economy than SS - just the difference in starting RW points is 87. And SD gets additional 105 ponts by taking NAS, while SS gets only 40. Now convert those ~150 points in econ and/or hab and check what you get. Besides, h
