I’m trying to set up a game where I start in Sol alongside an NPR with higher tech but fewer ships. I’m trying to do this with the “Create Race” button and then manually entering a specific number in the “Starting Ship Build Points” field. However, this doesn’t seem to work - the NPR always has lots and lots of ships. Any suggestions for how to make this setup?
The NPR has a minimum set of operational groups it will create to ensure a minimum set of capabilities. These ‘default’ groups use up build points from its starting pool, but the NPR will allow negative build points to finish this default set.
