Combining of 2 special abilities for a unit costs extra 25% in SMACX. There is an incosistency, a bug: the "free cost" abilities (like Deep Radar or Trance and ECM) are sometimes free even in combination, sometimes not. How should it be solved?
Combining 2 abilities should always raise the price of the unit.
3 (33.3%)
A "cost free" ability should never raise the price, even when combined with another ability.
By creating a planetary network, mankind on Planet now has the ability to share information at light-speed. But by creating a single such network, each faction has brought themselves closer to discovery as well. At the speed of light, we will catch your information, tag it like an animal in the wild, and release it unharmed-if such should serve our purposes.
