2 free colony pods at the beginning is wayyyy to powerful. One maybe, if you add some other negative, but two is ridiculous! Expecially with the +2 growth.

[heardie]

2 colony pods! How did that get in there
I guess I dind't update there datalinks. Well that's why I need betatsters, find all those bugs?
Did I forget to mentoin a free former for everybody at the start to promote growwth.

[Stefu]

Okay, I can playtest them - send them to me.

Sure I will try, looks like a mod you put a fairly large amount of time into. However to put it frankly there are a lot more things you can do to a faction to make it unique than just SE. Add support bonuses/penalties, to some factions, same with morale. I really do not want to suggest which factions to add morale/support bonuses/penalties, but it is something in SE that is worthwhile. Also consider using some of the other AC edit features.. there is a lot of them that can affect gameplay a lot more drastically than just SE.

Also you have not one, not two, but THREE factions with -1 economy. This in and of itself is not severe but it stops a faction from making money with FM, just so you know.

The research faction really has penalties that are too severe, -2 industy is a BIG ouch, that could balance the faction alone. But adding the penalties to hurry costs and growth make the problem even worse. I can understand how this could make sense in a military sense... a few shard units can waste inferior units... however this will hurt his growth incredibly in the early game. The tech does not matter if you are hampered so much. If you want to have a low production high research faction then give them an economy bonus too... more energy for labs.
