Other Game Design • Re: New species trait: Shields

After quite a few games (mostly single-player, we didn't have Aciremas in last MP games I played) I'll say that though the new mechanism isn't bad, I miss the old bonus for Aciremas : with the flat +1 Shields, the main strength of Aciremas wasn't so much that they had better shielded ships (especially now that shields are rendered nearly useless by fighters) but that they had shields (even very weak ones) for all of their ships, like Outposters, Scouts, whatever.

To defend against Arcs and small monsters like Maintenance Ships, it was a huge benefit.

Is there a way to keep the trait but add a small flat bonus either as a specific Acirema trait or in the general trait (like +1 +20%) ?

(yes, below I wrote that it's not KISS but maybe with some clever renaming of the Acirema Trait it would not be confusing ?)
