BGS changes 3.3 Questions from the livestream

[Yseroth]

I didn't quite get the logic of how factions will have multiple states across systems, but Expansion is factionwide.

Also the use of "contentment" as a factor to decide expansion location seems... misguided. Fine for democratic governments, but surely the imperative for other types would be different- corporate being trade, dictatorship maybe being security level?

Otherwise I think the BGS developments sound really exciting.

Pretty much what I thought as well. Different society types have different motivations, some in no way tied to the happiness of its citizens.

Completely agree with you there. It would be a good way of demonstrating the differences between the various government types.

It's not like corporations really care whether their slavesminimally paid workers are happy.
