TeamTypes

What Goes Up is a race between teams. To add flavor, a team may pick any one advantage and any one weaknesss. Serious games should avoid this in order to keep the playing field level.

ADVANTAGES:

• Tinkerer: Prototypes cost 2*mass instead of 3*mass.
• Clever: Spacederps start at 1/1/2 instead of 0/0/2.
• Industrious: Payloads must be researched like normal, but are bought 2 for 1.
• Lucky: Start with one extra luck point.
• Loaded: Start with one extra budget dot.

WEAKNESSES:

• Large: Spacederps mass 2. At least they're not eating for two...
• Clumsy: Spacederps suffer a -1 penalty for jury-rigging.
• Undisciplined: Spacederps must spend at least one turn in boot camp and cannot go to space immediately.
• Jinxed: Components can never get better than 18/19 instead of 19/20.
• Poor: Start with one less budget dot.

For example, Rabitians might be clever but clumsy; Goblins can be flavored as undisciplined tinkerers.
