Psi training is somewhat less time. First, consider 1.0 "0". Actually, considering 1.0 "0" makes far more sense considering it's the psi below 1.1, where you actually can do abilities.
So now this:
-1.0 to 0 to 1.0, instead of 0 to 1.0 to 2.0.
I actually don't have a training model where the math doesn't fuck off to hilariously huge numbers that prevent anyone from reaching the highest psi ever, even with humans now having a maximum life of 200 years. It's probably different for everyone anyways, considering most of the training is either meditation, pumping you full of chemicals, or practicing abilities. It's also a rough estimate of a smooth scale, being one psi below the required psi does not prevent you from using it, especially if you're halfway there.
Also, new ability for psionics:
Emotion reading. Actively reads the emotions of your target. Should be paired with thought reading, as some thoughts are ambiguous without knowing their inner emotions. Shares psi requirements with thought reading.
Big note: The beginning before the choice will be very linear and railroady, so you are there when the choice happens instead everyone being in the middle of nowhere knowing nothing about what's going on. Yes this sucks. However, fuck all will happen if you don't start off on the right foot. Chose Team B if freedom is your style.
Secondary notes: I may rarely inject attributes or history into your character. Don't worry, most of the time it means they get a plot tie-in so you don't have to roleplay "I'm not interested at all" all the time. It may also mean they get plot-related abilities that can help or hinder progress. No, I will not do this without your permission.
When condensing information, consider later information to always retcon what it challenges before. Also take into account when everyone argues over something and I cannot defend it, like with skin color limitations on humans. I basically did fuck all to defend it, ignore it.
