Problem is, the system has to be somewhat simple or it will be hard to follow.
Now, not all SE choices are equal, but with some builds it is powerful.In RPG terms, someone could use what we call a dump stat to mathematically get around in a point buy system. What that is is that in tournaments they would take negatives in something that did not matter to make a more important stat uber. In Dungeons and Dragons 3rd edition and greater, that stat was Charisma except for certain builds that required charisma. Or it was Intelligence.No matter what equation, we will not be able to stop this.
One flaw I see is using a +10 to -10 system. Some of the negatives are far worse than the positives for some social stats, and for other social stats, the positives are far more important than the negatives. For example, low Police ratings that starts generating drones for any aircraft or out-of-area military units is HUGE.So I think we need to scale according to the biggest bonus/drawback. That may mean we have a -10 to +6 rating for some area, or maybe a -4 to +10 rating for some other area.
Science is going to be hard to figure. The percentages are only a small part of the total bonus/penalty for the research rating. The reason I say that is that the percentage affects what gets accumulated, BUT it also affect how many points must be accumulated for a breakthrough. Does anyone know how to figure out how to how the rating affects the required points for a breakthrough?
Once we get done with this, I am interested in the relative power rating of these factions:Buster's Uncle's SupaNoobs - Designed to be way overpowered.The Ominiscient Antimind of Antimind- Not broken, but extremely tough. I would say tougher than Caretakers or Usurpers.Conqueror Marr of the Manifold Usurpers- Perhaps the toughest of the canon factions.Captian Svensgaard of The Nautalis Pirates - MP guys say it is an unfair advantage.Chairman Yang of The Human Hive - Forum opinion from Apolyton, WPC, and CFC over a decade of posts say this is most powerful of human canon factions.CEO Morgan of The Morganites - I sometimes disagree, but 10 years of forum lurking says Morgan is the weakest of the human canon factions.
