Edit: Weird, the forum took my post twice so I just deleted the second one.

Megavolt made a good point, so I decided to check where the trade off is. At >54% shield mitigation in battle (culture bonuses), a 6% Advent mitigation bonus (6 upgrades) will completely negate the damage bonus of Vasari (4 upgrades), not accounting for phase missles.

Units would have to average 54/65%

The Expert Bounty Hunter tech says you get 12.5/25% more money when collecting bounties. Does this additional money also come out of the money on the player's head or is it just extra? Example: A player "Bob" has 500 bounty on him and a Vasari with Expert Bounty Hunter kills 100 credits worth of Bob's ships. Expert Bounty hunter means the Vasari gets 125 credits, but is the price on Bob's head 400 or 375?

The above site also claims that 3/4 refineries is the max an asteriod can support, which of t

Culture questions So I'm working on a game guide and realized that there's lots of stuff I didn't understand about the high level culture techs. First off any advice regarding the faction specific culture techs would be useful.
