Cory Trese, I'm not sure if this is practical but it would be great if the proposed "Balance of Power" screen had the following columns: --3 Raw Faction Stats columns, one for each faction. The stats in these columns would match sums across colonies of a given faction. --A Raw Empire Stats column. The stats in this column would match sums across all colonies. --An Adjusted Empire Stats column. This column would provide stats adjusted for morale, alliances/conflicts, etc. The stats used by the game engine to calculate Profit, to progress Diplomacy, to progress Research, and to affect Politics (e.g., Spy Battle). This would help players understand the game's underlying mechanics without spending too much effort/time on specific calculations.

We'll have to get there is stages. That screen as it is would cost a lot, probably more than we can afford to spend all at once.
I am working on the basic part of the feature, however, folding the data back together to a single view -- and I think that's the key foundational aspect.

Cory Trese, that makes sense. It might help players if that screen has a note at the bottom explaining how some stats are Raw and other Adjusted for morale, treaties etc... Related to the Balance screen, there may be an issue with the Spy stat on the faction-specific stats screens reached from the Faction List screen. euphorion and I find the faction-specific-screen Spy stat does not match any other Spy/EP stats. HOWEVER, all other Spy/EP stats are consistent. For more detail on that go to the thread euphorion started here: startradersrpg.proboards.com/thread/11976/ep-issues#ixzz3fUi7JiyC
