Cool, I will try that. Thanks

The base game only includes positive options, but you can mod negative ones if you want for most attributes AFAIK.

I have always thought that ship range (efficacy of life support modules) should scale with mapsize. As it is, the whole ship range aspect of play doesnt really feel like it comes into play until youre playing on a "large" map, or greater. Its certainly not worth putting much or any research into life support systems on smaller maps.

But playing on large maps takes a long time. So if you want a faster game, your forced into missing out on the games full character. Support module ranges should scale with map size, so it reinforces isolation, captures that large map "feel" even on smaller maps, and forces you to build ships with multiple support modules or research better ones to escape your immediate territory or have an advantage over other races.


Sensor ranges should probably scale with map size too, for the same reasons. On a large map, I have to build a sensor network of mutliple sensor ships to see whats going on, a rewarding enterprise. On mdium or smaller maps, a single maxed out sensor ship would probably uncover most of the map.

I did say *most* attributes, not all
