Hi!
So you're a new one here? Welcome!

Now to more serious business. Wink

IMO you need to read some posts here to get a preper feeling about capabilities of races and strenght balancing.

At the year 2505 with 78 planets I have 123k resources and 111 tech level and most planets are full of mineral stockpiles Smile

I'm affraid that's a not cool result, even for a testbed. I could quite easily get those resources at turn 60 from a small universe with a proper CA race. Shocked

To quote one of players here: "If anybody just sneezes in your general direction in first 50 turns, you're dead."

What's really cool is a self-sufficient race without weaknesses. Your race isn't, as it has two really big weaknesses(all tech expensive and mines cost 9), two big ones (no start @ 3 and wrong/too many LRTs) and a small one (not enough mines operated).

I know 3-immune HE is appealing. It was the first race I tried when I got Stars!, but unfortunately it is quite weak in a "larger than small" PBEM games, because it starts slowly and has no gates. Only if it can grow for first ~50 turns in peace it can become a real monster. But other, faster races know that and will not give them that time.

What I'd suggest you is leave HE for some time. You should read the Stars! - Must Know section of the Academy, especially Tutorial - How to get over 25k resources by 2450 (BEGINNER). Do several testbeds with that race. Then try other proposed designs to get better feeling on the game mechanics and race behaviour. Then you'll look back at your "cool HE" and will redesign it properly. Wink

BR, Iztok ...
