Summary0016017: No (or very little) influence loss for "Deliver Spacefaring Tech"
DescriptionI'm playing the game for the first time, and I became confused because every time I go to provide spacefaring tech to a race that doesn't have it yet (though I tend to do it just before their timer runs out), it tells me that if I give it to them, my influence with the other factions will reduce by large amounts, like 40 or 50. However, when I actually deliver it, I get the benefits (credits windfall, big influence gain with recipient faction), but none of the penalties. Looking over my logbook, I see one case where I lost 5 whole influence with another faction; that's it. I'm attaching my save so you can see.

I'm really surprised that I didn't already see a bug on this, since it seems to completely break game balance. Am I just misunderstanding something?

Nevermind, I see I was just missing the "if caught by" part of the text.

No problem, you're all good. That said, we're completely redoing the way that these particular missions work, because they are indeed not that great, and somewhat out of balance to boot.
