Am I the only person who thinks the Emotionless racial trait is a bit pricey?

...Considering it's 3000 points.

Through testing I found out that emotionless populations get a 10% bonus to production, that's the same as Happy. That suprised me a little. I expected no pop bonus, like indifferent.

It's not that hard to keep your own population jubilant all the time. And conqured pop's stay jubilant as long as you keep a few ships in the system. They can even be mothballed if you need the resources.

The production bonus for Jubilant is 120%, so paying the 3000 racial points actually loses you resources.

Anybody have any thoughts on this?

The reason I bring it up is because the Borg and the Vulcans in my Startrek mod are going to need to be emotionless, and that kind of limits my flexibility on what other characteristics they can have.

I am thinking about lowering the cost of the emotionless racial trait in my mod. But maybe someone can come up with some reason why that is a bad idea? I don't want to affect play balance.
