I like the Weapons expensive too.

As far as Construction not cheap, that is fine as well. Construction expensive I think gives another advantage to the IT race. I would say choose not cheap or no restriction. I would also make a final decision on single player win or not. That is a big difference. My preference is single player for this game. Also make a final decision on random events.

Anyone know why IS was given an extra penalty last game?

I think the idea was they would have an advantage getting pop to the middle because of pop growth in freighters.
