| Summary | 0014668: Cap RCI values | ||||
| Description | Currently it is far, far easier to lower RCI values than it is to raise them. While that on its own might be alright the sheer endless declines of RCI scores well past the -10k range makes it so that a single event basically ruins a planet. The only way to recover one of these messed up worlds seems to be to have it change ownership. Adding a cap to how low the value can go is one fix for this. At the very least it might make the prospect of recovery feasible. | ||||

As an alternative to a hard cap, it could be soft capped (maybe in both directions) with a negative feedback formula. Changes away from zero get a penalty depending on how big the RCI number already is (perhaps only if absolute value > 100), changes toward zero get a bonus. |

Soft caps have been introduced, along with a complete rebalance, on these. Thanks! |
