I personally think the best way to balance HE would be to reduce the points HE gets from reducing growth rate and return some limited (if not full) stargate capability.

You know, I've always thought HE had more room to play with the growth rate due to the "doubled" growth of HE's. However, it just occurred to me that the so-called "double" growth rate is really not that at all, since their population cap is halved. In order to produce the same number of colonists per turn that any other race does, the HE must have twice the growth rate. So, while I always thought an HE could get away with a lower growth rate than other races due to the "doubled" growth, it actually is not true at all, is it? A 2% growth HE gains the same number of colonists per year as any other 2% growth prt, even though it's so-called "double" growth rate gives it 4%, since it's basically twice the multiplier of half the factor. What is the greater amount, 1*2 or 2*1? Gee, now I feel like a mathematician, since I figured that all out by myself. Very Happy

In light of this new revelation, I think the HE is severely broken, with two really big handicaps (no gates, half pop cap) and no advantage except the two exclusive hulls, the limited-use settlers delight engine, and the flux capacitor. I'd gladly exchange all of those for either the stargates or the full pop cap. Pretty lousy prt, and it has always been my favorite. Shows how much I know. Razz

What to do about balancing the PRT (not that it'll ever happen)? To reduce the points that an HE gets for reducing growth wouldn't be fair at all. Instead, give the HE full stargate capability and let it keep every exclusive goodie it has. Even better, restore the full pop cap and let it keep every exclusive goodie it has. One or the other, stargates or full pop cap. I think restoring the pop cap would be best. Either one of those handicaps is sufficient to balance the few goodies the HE gets, and the pop cap one is espe ...

I'M NOT AN EXPERT AND I'M OFTEN PROVEN WRONG. TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN YOU READ MY POSTS.
Math? Confused

Ummm, sure! Nod

I do FREESTYLE math.
