My "friendly" local NPR
and also the Aether Raiders seem to be falling behind on our arms race. While I could slow down my own research by conducting mass layoffs of scientists, I
really want to finally start playing with antimatter power and I'm reluctant to totally wipe out a rival that has provided decades of fun.
Is there any way to boost the tech of existing NPRs? Some ideas that come to mind:
- Increasing the difficulty modifier: 150%? 200%? 500%?
- Editing the DB and adding research labs to the NPRs' colonies
- Using SM mode to spawn a bunch of "gift ships" and then transferring them to the NPRs
