I wanna help! I'v sent you details in a pm, do read it.
I hope this becomes a good colony game.
I support. (thumbsup)
Edit: I think esg with acid would be good.
Sticky, microwave, starflare, and emp. I think that should be all, we don't want too much now do we?
Also consider how many different weapons eden/plymouth has. May that be your exsample? I think it could be.
Guidlines to balance:
If eve has emp missle, they cannot have medeor defense, and the other way around too.
If eve has consumergoods+repairvehcile, they can't have the arachnicactory, other way around too.
Even can only have 4 of the following techs: railgun, supernova, stickyfoam, rpg, thorshammer, esg, acidcloud, laser, microwave.
The following, which you probably know, is for all colonies: starflare, emp, an area of affect weapon, a ranged weapon(bigger than mic/laz).
I look forward to this colony game
