Putting the slightest amount of distinct visual flavor to the different ship classes would have gone SO far.

I'm not confident these guys know how to balance anything. The human and insect factions have a HUGE drawback in exchange for an okay bonus. The ghost faction has HUGE bonus in exchange for a negligible drawback. Remember in Master of Orion how the Silicoids had half population growth, shitty starting relations, and poor tech affinities to balance out the massive advantage of being able to colonize every planet type? The Astro ghosts can colonize everything and to balance it out they get the penalty of...having only 2 bonus choices for one time anomalies instead of 3.

DUN DUN DUUUUUN!!!

        In a game so short, those one-time bonuses (like a free advanced ship) are huge. NT by Mischief Maker 05/21/2026, 7:55am PDT NEW
