I find Vasari scouts to be balanced, actually. Vasari ships cost a lot more than their counterparts, and there arent usually enough neutrals to really get a huge income off of anyways. Some maps it can be OP, but others its useless. So it balances out
You can for example easily get a +5-10 metal/crystal income on any random large map (or any large map or even a random medium map) 10 minutes into the game. Most of the time. Balances out?
In a large map you will end up building a colony frigate anyways because there is a lot to colonoze. Colony frigs need an antimatter regen buff though, because as it stands using them for colonizing and capping extractors isnt feasable

Thanks for checking The change was a tweak/bug fix, prior if you lost a colony the mines around it would produce at 100% allegiance, and the way it was worded in the patch notes made it sound like any mine in a neutral grav well would get an allegiance penalty. Guess not capturable neutrals, though

You are no longer talking about the original problem, which was that Vasari get a way too big economy too early too easily without risking anything on some maps.

I agree with the AM buff though.

Thanks for checking

On a small map you get zilch. I do agree that colony frigates need an antimatter regen buff since Colonize and Capture Neutral Extractor are intensive and the regen is minimal.

So?

As I said, if something is too OP, it needs fixing. Doesn't matter if it's map related or not.

This problem can be fixed "easily" by nerfing the scouts a little and/or lowering the income from neutral extractors + scaling it down when the distance from capital increases.

But that's just what I think.
