EMPs slightly OP vs Robotics

Hey there. So I'm beginning to think EMP may be a bit overpowered vs Robotics in the Early Game, due to robotics sole dependency on power before they gain the ability to create electronics. Because of this, Robotics can be bought out quite quickly due their stock markets crashing early from the debt of no power. I believe this can be changed by having EMP start at a higher asking price in the black market.
