I don't know what anyone else thinks, but I agree that the extra power isn't going to be that helpful. As for economic powerhouse, not so much, if you want an economy to have to be able to grow or build things, this more about making what we have last as long as possible.<br/><br/>Unused 4 + 6<br/>Defense : 16 (16)<br/>Subordinate : 24 (23 + 1)<br/>Wealth : 23 (17 + 6)<br/>Power : 20 (20)<br/>Support : 25<br/>Law : 24 (18 + 6)<br/>Population : 25<br/><br/>I'd be favour of spending the 4 on extra defense; otherwise we're going be wasting 6 defense points and the extra 4 buys an upgrade. And then put the 6 into subordinate to get it up to 30 which gives a few more ship buying options<br/>
