[1.1] Outreach III [free pop on newly colonized planets] nerfed in 1.1 (Good :))

Posted on Saturday, June 20, 2015

Scanned some of the posts and haven't seen this mentioned yet.  If this is a dupe topic, apologies.

Outreach III (Abundant) which USED to give a +5 bonus to newly colonized planets has been nerfed, and nerfed hard.

Instead of giving a +5 to all new colonies, it now gives a +2.  First of all:  GOOD  

While I liked it as a player, it really was waaaaaaaaaaaaay overpowered.  Like silly OPed.  But it also makes sense to nerf it since it seemed to be a relic of the older colony module system.  In early betas, base colony ships could be loaded with 5 pop maximum, instead of the current 3.  So it kinda made sense to allow people to get a "free" colony module via that trait.

But when the colony ship was hit with the Nerf Bat (Beta 4, I think), this wasn't nerfed with it.  

So thumbs up for the long over due nerfage.  

 

 

 

 

Even if some will be disappointed with the change.
