Default Re: Ancient Race too powerful?

Even with different size home worlds thogh it is possible to pinpoint the homeworlds with a high degree of reliability. It is just statistically unlikely that a planet will have plus or minus 5% on all three resources, and have the same conditions as what ever your homeworld has. It may take a little longer to narrow down if the planets are different sizes, but it can be done. You may have one or two that you aren't sure about in a large quadrant, but unless it's only a couple players in the game, that still gives you a solid idea of where they are.

What might be better, in fact I think I will suggest this to Malfador, is if you don't know exactly what resource percentages a planet has until you actually colonize it or have a robo miner working it. They could have "bands" like poor, below average, average, etc. The bands could be 20 or 30 % wide. Then it would be much harder to know if a planet was a homeworld. You would be looking for planets with all three recources as "average" or "good" or wherever the bands fall. Which statistically shold be a larger group.
