In case you don't know, there is a bug that any probe rating above 3 will be considered a 0. With the inherent +2 probe, then another +2 when your free covert ops centers come online, you lose the primary advantage of this faction. So I am contemplating downgrading the inherent +2 probe to +1, and adding a bonus to compensate. The only question is what is a fair bonus that fits the ideas of the faction and is in the same vein of the probe rating that is being traded.
Some options:
+1 Econ (Data brokering is a profitable business)
Pros: Fits concept. Not limited to turtling with Free Market to gain +2 Econ
Cons: Econ is the single most beneficial social mod, so not balanced with -1 probe.
Immunity / Impunity Probe (Always at the leading edge in security systems)
Pros: Balanced (when applicable) with -1 probe and directly related
Cons: Limited at best use, while -1 probe constant.
There are other possibilities, but they just don't seem to meet my goal of faction ideology. Comments and suggestions welcomed.
