Well I think we still need to decide the factions we're gonna use. But if we can choose out of Googlie's adapted set, I have a few concerns about balance. He gave the Consciousness a free skunkworks, the Drones a free naval yard ( ), the Believers rec commons, Gaians biology lab, Morgan energy bank, Spartans command center, and the PKs a free children's creche, along with a few other minor changes I sometimes don't understand. These changes are in the disadvantage of those factions who already had a free facility. Also the Pirates are still the original, now making them quite weak compared to Googlie's aquatic set. So there are a few things we might need to discuss, adapt the factions a little ourselves so they seem more balanced. (Or I could do a few proposals, and you guys could say whether you like them or not. )

It turned out to be a long night.
Basically I worked from Googlie's set and deleted the free facilities and some other things (eg free sea colony pod for Spartans and PKs) he had given. On the other hand I added a few things myself eg free unity foil for the Spartans.
I changed three factions:
The Disciples I gave one free mineral on fungus.
For the Hackers I gave them a free probe cutter instead of a probe team (I added the probe cutter in my edited alphax.txt. I haven't tested if it works though). I also lessened their probe bonus from +2 to +1 to avoid the rollover bug. In return I gave them impunity for Knowledge, which seems a fitting SE choice for them.
The original Pirates had become quite weak compared to the all-aquatic set, so I boosted them with +1 Support and impunity for Power. A true warmonger's faction! They may again be too powerful now though.
As for the alphax.txt, it contains a probe cutter, a -1 instead of -2 industry penalty for Power SE, and halved chassis costs for foils and cruiser.
Disclaimer: I didn't test all these changes. I just threw together some files in a hurry tonight.
