Savasku, and the need to start every day with a healthy breakfast

There is probably an irresistible temptation for Savasku players to claim that anything shot off or used up grows back.

Luckily, I'm here to meet that temptation by saying, yeah, right, sure, from what?

Damaged biomass costs 2 pts to replace, just like it cost to build in the first place.

Expended biomass costs 1 pt to replace, on the grounds that it's more similar to expended munitions in other people's ships.

The armwaving rationalisation for this is that there's quite a difference between having a crap and having a colostomy.

This is a volume control issue as much as anything; a solution designed to keep the howling noises in my right and left ears at similar and roughly tolerable levels.

There have been some other thoughts about Savasku, and there will doubtless be more thoughts about Phalons in due course.

To all of this I say, as calmly as lies within me, Kravak, Savasku and Phalons were exhaustively playtested by the original designers and will be assumed to be balanced until someone shows me a complete wipeout which cannot be attributed to ineptitude.
