What is your AVP distribution?

Eh, there are really only 4 perks that are all that useful, in my opinion.

Early game, the Milky Way research bonus is pretty good, and the option to increase the speed certainly doesn't hurt. That's two.

Once you get to Kadara, though, you gain enough MW research points it becomes moot, unless you just want to research ALL THE THINGS.

The other two perks are the one that gives you an extra augmentation slot and the one that reduces the negative portion of fusion mods by half.

The rest of the perks are just...meh.

Mostly science, some commerce and very few military.

Yeah, that's what kind of puzzled me - I was surprised they seemed to be about perks only and not something systematic about how to establish colonies safely and usefully.  They really could have done more with that.

Only science got sense - really needed for armor blueprints, I got too much money so I don't need a trade, military is pretty useless.

commerce - science - mostly because of the extra slot for augmentation and reducing the bad effect of a fusion mod. Otherwise I would choose military - science

First is the extra augmentation, the Milky way research is a nice bonus. (Innovation)
Next the fusion penalty reduction. (Fusion Mod Support)
Not much after that, but might as well get the extra consumable slots. (Versatility)

Once you have those three you can forget about the rest. I have yet to come close to my inventory limit, but I guess Trade Capacity is the best of the rest.

I think the DAI perk system was much better thought out.

You could also say they designed it around a bunch of whiny little brats who expect everything to be designed for them specifically.  In my opinion Inquisition had a better system, but at the same time the amount of complaints around it made me think if there was a system like it in Andromeda it wouldn't be as good because "it was mandatory" or other nonsense complaints.

Milky Way research and innovation (for the extra augmentation slot) are the 2 I consider essential.

Same.  Spent on things I really wanted: inventory slots, consumable slots, research data  (all else, just to spend points)

Perhaps something that would have made this more interesting is if we could use these perks towards improving and expanding outposts, helping the AI to grow.  I agree with others who have said "once you have an outpost, that's it.  no expansion.  some NPCs standing around."  Basically, a system where the Pathfinder can benefit (missions, crafting), but also seeing some benefit for the outposts.  I'd love for instance, to see once in a while reports like say "Eos outpost Prodromos reports that the outpost has expanded by 10%.  50 additional colonists awoken from cryo-stasis, and added to the outpost."  Anyhow, something like this I think would have more meaning for players, as we (whomever does) has a vested interest in the outposts, aside from the missions we must complete.

If you're asking about the one that reduces the negative impact of Fusion mods by half, it's called "Fusion Mod Support."

I want to say that it's locked behind 90% viability on Kadara, level 40, or something similar to those.  I can't remember exactly when I unlocked it, and I can't remember the state of the planets when I did.
