Is this card underrated?
While experimenting, I had a game where I rolled Exodus Imperative right at the start of the future tree and slotted Aerospace Contractors. +3 Aluminum and +3 power for every spaceport.
Now, spaceports are pricy at 1,800 hammers. But many times I find that Aluminum is waaay too scarce (only 2 units per mine?! Stingy!) and also coal for power generation. This card, if you build a few spaceports, can completely turn things around: separate to or combined with synthetic technocracy, you have gobs of power. Aka more t3 buildings like labs and broadcast towers.
The aluminum though, is the real kicker- since I often end up with vast surpluses of late game production and can afford to bolt together 10 spaceports, suddenly I can bank so much aluminum that I can afford a Lagrange laser station everywhere for space wins. That means you can push out a win within a few turns of launch.
alternatively, with 30+ aluminum income, you can truly have the most ridiculous air force ever. Great for those fascism into corporate libertarian builds when you can have all the resources. And then start a multi front offensive against even the most hardened empires.
