Oh man, I can't wait for this to get to the rest of us! Quick question, it looks like they included additional plasma missile techs, is that to increase the odds of them coming out? Or did they increase all techs due to the increase in players?(Sounds like a stupid question so if it is, just give me a *chirp chirp* response):)
I assume you are referring to the Ion missiles, which are basically a consolation prize for those who can't get plasma missiles. There aren't any extra plasma missile techs, though.
It's interesting to note some of the other techs, though. I see at least three that provide potential defense against plasma missile junkies. If you belief half the people here on the geek, these should significantly level the playing field for those getting screwed by the PM strategy. If you believe the other half of the geeks, the defensive techs aren't a must-have, but they are still a welcome breath of fresh air in that they encourage players to be more creative about how they attack and defend.
Can't wait for my pre-order to arrive!
EDIT: typos
Nah, think he means plasma, as in this picture here: there are definitely more plasma techs coming with the expansion, so wonder if just those (and so increasing the odds of drawing PM tech), or more of all techs to keep odds the same for more players. I'm assuming it is the latter, as there is a player icon above the tech type to ID it as for 7+ (similar to the icons we've seen on the extra VPs for 7+)...
EDIT: Beaten to it!
Good spot on the player icon, I knew something looked different about the tile but couldn't tell what...
