Hello,



So the Harmony is very different from any other faction and I have a lot of issues when playing it. I only see disadvatages.



First, the lack of approval. It could be a very useful trait for early fast expension, but it isn't since you still have a FIDS penalty for fast expension. On the other hand, afaik you don't have the FIS bonus every one else get when they manage to raise their approval.



Then, the lack of dust. If it can be somehow helpful to avoid early fleet upkeep costs it turns to be a massive disadvantage to not be able to buyout ships or system upgrades at a given point where any other faction is already rich. Also, no heroes which doesn't help.



And anyway I feel it's very slow to expend. Maybe it comes from a bad management of the Food <> Science cursor.
