Summary0025946: "Difficult beachheading" lobby option (forced on in expert mode).
DescriptionFrom Strategic Sage:

Pursuant to a discussion on discord, credit esp. Metrekec, CRCGamer, and EvilBistro. The rest of this has been revised based on their input. The idea is to increase the opportunity cost of beachheading via the metal expense. This means you can go right ahead and do it on moderate difficulties, but on high difficulty the time taken will be fatal at critical junctures of the game.

Specifically, metal costs for turrets will increase based on two dimensions; hops away from player territory, and mark level of the planet. Mark level would have no effect if the planet is neutral. 25% cost increase per hop, and 10% per mark as ballpark starting figures. So to beachhead a Mk V two hops out would be double the cost. This may not be enough, it may be too much. Test it out with experts and see how much it takes for them to not rely overmuch on beachheading.
