Thanks for the info. This is a great decision.

I am sure we will have more passionate / heated discussions about which skills the VP should have
.
For me, I would keep saying that it should NOT give more FPs. As I and others have said already, I find that the game already relies too much on FPs and that there already many sources of those FPs. To those who say there is never enough FPs, I would say: yes but what would be the interest of the game if we had enough ?
For a change, I would suggest that the other skills would bring Guild power which is something that we don't have yet and that would bring benefit to all. On a Guild leader point of view, it would be nice to have the "bigger" players doing something to the benefit of all guilders.
I was also thinking of something that would possibly raise a greater storm. Why not making this GB useful only to the Space Age players? In the past, you could have only GB of your age (or from previous ones) and that was OK. We were even more motivated to go through the TT. The game is about choices to be made: on your style of playing, on your speed for progression and also for your choice in GB.
I would not find unfair or "horrible" that you can get this GB only when reaching SAM. So the new skill would bring more credits or martian ore. And this skill would adapt to the next ages which would probably requires the equivalent of credits and ore.
