Viral will be given the `Un-Reverse Engineer` project, in case they wish to choose a different set of ships.

- All ships have been updated (Shields, Pr, Build rate, Cost, upkeep, etc)
- Some ships will be removed, cost of ship will be refunded to all empires at $ [ Pr x 30 ]

Ministers Balancing (Major)
Many players have voiced out that it is far too hard to level up their ministers, so we have changed some parts of this to make it easier for players to level up.
Old (before)
- Skill point required to level up traits = trait level. If you have a level 3 commercial trait, you need 3 skill points.
- 5 skill points to add new trait, 33% chance of getting good trait
- Chances of getting more than 1 good trait >1%
New (after)
- Fixed 1 skill point to +1 economy trait
- Fixed 3 skill point to +1 military trait
- 2 skill point to add new skill, 45% chance of getting good trait
- Chances of getting 1 good trait = 33%, 2 = 16%, 3 = 11%
- All ministers will come along with minimum of 1 bad trait
- Maximum trait level = 9,999
Current Minister Bonus
All older ministers will receive additional skill points. +1 skill point for each level minum the levels of your current traits.
