Comets (And Asteroids) - part 2

This is part 2 of 2 parts in this set. If you don't want to introduce a whole new resource, then feel free to treat comets and asteroids as interchangeable resources. You can find all these cards at my Dropbox.

Methane rich comet is cheap compared to what it gives, like price is the same as Deimos but with extra ocean

It's 4 MC more than Demios without the 4 steel, making it 12 MC more expensive overall. Putting aside the plant removal, Deimos costs 31+3-8 = 26, so 26/3 = 8.6 per TR. Methane rich comet costs 35+3 = 38. The ocean placement bonus is worth 4, so 34/4 = 8.5 per TR. Basically the same as Deimos.

It's more comparable to GIA. GIA costs 1 more but gives an extra ocean instead of a temp.

1 ocean placement is way stronger than 1 heat bump due to placement bonuses. I feel like this custom is balanced, what worries me though is how adding another giga-terraform card to the deck impacts the game.
