basically, i haven't done the math but thought about this earlier.

simply put it, raise the exploration ship count that can be built per day.

BUT, this works out a little like defence stations. the cost per explo more that you built is multiplied by the size of your family. in a way, making it more cost effective for small families to be able to build more explos than big families who can simply take them off of others (by fair means, or by farming smaller families). i think of this because i am currently in a very small fam in pw with no real hope if being able to fight anyone and gain any substantial amount of planets out of it which would payback the effort and gc/ress put in.

as i said previous i don't know the math, and i am not even sure if there would be a fair way to work it out to make it so that this only becomes a thing that small families can use.

also as a sidenote - these explos would have to be built without effects of con bonus, or something that ensures that they aren't cheap for a big family because they draft someone in late or get a good random.

all in all it would help small guys get bigger and be able to compete, especially if they have less active players who can build 6 a day.
