Proposal: Making Galactic Domination a Little More Difficult

Let's be honest. In rule 22, General Election, the second option is just a tad bit too easy to obtain. People can simply pay 10 MegaCredits and qualify. Also, I think the whole budget thing is a little too easy to abuse. Assuming you had a shipyard and the requisite titanium, one could pay 10 MegaCredits, switch one's budget to 70/10/10/10, and use the SEVENTY PERCENT DISCOUNT to buy ships at less than one third their normal cost. Then, one could pay 10 more MegaCredits and change their budget back to what it was originally. This is kind of silly.

Therefore, I propose the following rule change:

In Rule 17, Government Spending, rewrite the second-to-last sentence to read

This costs 5 Mega-Credits per 10-percent change in preference (for example, changing preferences from 10/20/30/40 to 20/20/20/40 would cost 10 Mega-Credits, but changing from 10/20/30/40 to 50/10/10/30 would cost 30 Mega-Credits).
