The poll is close, but so far it looks like a slight majority of the community wants there to be a small rebalance to the Triangle.

Even if you look at "14 of 30 people voted no change" you do have to keep in mind that it was possible for them to select that and something else too, and one person has admitted to having done so.

Well, I selected No change, Kieth and Diazo.  If there *is* going to be a change, those two seem the best. Otherwise, no change.

I voted for Minotaur's , Diazo's + the alternate, and keith's.
I feel like minotaurs should happen regardless, I also really would like a speed difference between the fighters and bombers - the interceptor thing that would emerge from Diazo's alternate seems like it would be really compelling.

Hey sorry any chance of adding mine a bit late?  Call it giving the AI more specifically anti-bomber tools, probably especially more fighters on its worlds.

Also, sorry if this is really poli sci geeky, but I don't think voting for changes and "no change" together is trolling --- if you want to see a specific change but would prefer nothing to another change, or want no change but have a preference if there has to be one, that's a reasonable way to ensure that one of your preferred options comes out on top.

I voted for Keith and Minotaar. Some way of giving the fighters a more clearly defined role, any way at all, would be ideal, in addition to some minor tweaks.

It is also an application of Game Theory. :D

Enjoy!

Sure, sorry I missed it earlier.  I'll make an effort to make your suggestion first in the next Community Poll, which will probably be about the state of Starship Bombers.  Assuming it's okay for me to keep doing these unofficial community input, brainstorming, and poll routines.

Doesn't bother me.  The community might have you drawn and quartered, though ;)
