Koxsos, thank you for the video! I finally decided to give Hisshos a 2nd try and the video helped. In the end it wasn't so complicated, I just had around 10 or 15 turns of research struggle (on normal speed) when researching the tier 3 <goverment change> and the <extra support slots + %Fids support module>. The first 30 turns I kept pace more or less, the 5 turn anarchy of changing goverment kinda blows, but oh well.

Keeping Hatched at Home law and the +% industry ability was not an issue, even when playing on a Spiral-6. I'm about 10 turns behind on science when compared to other races I play, maybe less when I finish the ITER, and when I build the +% science building I'll probably catch up (I'm still mid-game, we will see when I get 12 systems - I'm hoping Autonomous Administration works for Hissho also).

For future reference, the name calling on the video was unnecessary. The tone of the video didn't bother me, some people like blondes, others like readheads or brunettes, to each their own.
