| Summary | 0015126: Penalties for tech raiding are too high | ||||
| Description | With the general slowing of influence gains, the huge influence lost if you tech raid has made it an obvious "don't do this ever!" decision for me. The player loses something like 10 influence (for "Thief") with every race just for stealing 1 tech. I would propose either -nerfing the influence costs by about 50% except for the target race or -introduce an additional influence gain for "stole tech from my enemies" or "stole tech from my enemies and gave it to me!" if they dislike the race you are stealing tech from. | ||||

Agreed. These are definitely too high. At least as far as 3rd-party races are concerned. |

Yep. WAY cheaper to sell some pilots and buy goons and research it yourself! I looked at stealing tech one time, and never looked again. Idealy though, I'd like to see the steal tech become a spy sat style mission, so it's possible to get the tech with no penalties if you maneuver correctly, or horrendous penalties if you blunder it (possibly not even getting the tech at all). Perhaps have some ship remains in the middle of the map - the idea being you've found a scap heap with the tech, but now you need to break into the junkyard and get a scan of the tech before jumping off. |

Thanks! * The third-party influence penalties for stealing techs from a race have been dropped dramatically. |
