W/ the current changes the three tech paths are now ranked.
Human. If you want the best production able produce your enemies into oblivion
, pick humans.
Human. If you want the best research, pick humans. Humans at this time have
no drawbacks, and if they ever reach level 4 tech w/ a semi stable empire, they win.
Bionic. Decent balance early and late game. Really vulnerable mid game.
Cyborg. good fire power and can do massive damage late game, nanoarmor is nice.
A) Move "Asteroid Mining," from human tech to Cyborg tech.
As a good human player(as the game was and is) you only should ever use asteroid
mining as a diplomacy tool for cyborgs, or just to annoy your neighbors.
Cyborgs are way behind and have no methods late mid game to improve their lot in life.
This change would help address that problem.
B) Nerf Solar Factory / Orbital research labs (75% as useful)
or
C) Remove Solar Factory or remove Orbital Research Labs.
D) Move Sol Fac / Orb Rsrch Labs to TL5.
