Serenity Planet Broken? (custom race)

[Kunovega]

So I was messing around making a custom race that would focus on tourism and passive income and chose the Serenity System as it's starting type because it states it gives a bonus to "Tourism and Approval", but then I start the game and it's "Approval and influence"

What gives? It's a pretty worthless starting homeworld if it's only going to be class 12 and no tourism bonus, neither approval or influence is worth giving up that many tiles at start.

Hmm... maybe the expansions broke it? The devs check in here, maybe they can comment...

I don't know about starting system or how they are described but normally it is Scenic World giving tourism bonus

Got changed back with the Crusade balance pass. We all know SD balance passes never included text :)

Well, then it's better to choose the Torus system and get 2 planets with tourism bonuses instead of a 12 tile, no secondary planet and no useful bonus

The Proxima Centauri system is probably the best starter tbh, Class 16 I think with 2 rings of asteroids totaling upto 12 asteroids within 3 tiles of said planet.

Specifically for a tourism / casual concept race (popular +2, etc)

It's as much about the theme as it is a good starter choice.
