So... Ima be heading home from this job sometime this week which means i can play with my desktop, and thus experiment a little more widely with the game than currently.
Now i know that adjusting your starting stats for the game can seriously change up the average resources on planets. Earth with a 500m start will have 50-150k of each resource, while a 5b start will have 500k-1.5m
Average of course.
Was just wondering how this affected if you started with multiple factions on the same planet (like 2 2.5bil pop factions, would they have the same minerals to work with as a 5bil single start?)
My overall plan was to start with 4 nations, and play each focusing on a general strategy. (1 goes heavy on fighters, 1 likes their light to med ships, 1 goes for 50kt behemoths, and 1 tries to strike a balance in design.)
This giving me numerous chances to experiment with ship designs and such. And perhaps some lulz.
