Tech trading is irrelevant.

If you have tech the Borg want they will assimilate you.

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

I thought time distortion bursts were fixed so why ban them?

And also,

- No colony pop of differant type swaping.

means no trading of ships with population onboard or planets right? You might want to make sure this one is very well highlighted so that no-one forgets.

Sparhawk, I wasn't against trading techs outright, just that IMO trading them directly via gifts makes it all too easy. I prefer trading them via ship exchange.

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

I am with Gravey, what's the explanation for the no TDB and no pop swapping rules? The Borg can't pop swap anyway since the drones remain connected to the continuum and cannot serve antoher race in this manner, but I can see why others may wish to practice this and it would be fully within character.

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

TDBs are indeed fixed in 1.84.

Pop swapping should not be Banned.

That missing 6 turns with no notice should be changed to something like missing 4 turns in a row with no notice. Missing 6 of 120 turns is not a big deal. Missing 4 of 8 turns is though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No, as that takes it beyond the scope of a Quadrant Mod, and into a tech mod. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It does indeed matter.

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Hmm... this looks like fun, when do you plan to start the game? Can I still join? I don't have FQM yet but I can get it later tonight(it's to big to DL now), right now I'm getting the smaller race files. It said on the PBW post that the Breen were still available, but I don't see their ships on the link you posted, it just says "coming soon", can I get them else where?

Edit: Allright I found the breen on New age ship yards, will that be ok? and what do the Breen breath, I know it ain't oxegen(they may live on an Ice planet so I'll put them on one). All I have to do is get the FQM. do I need anything else?

Re: PBW Star Trek Game
 

Hugh that set is the correct set at the moment.

The link I provided is to the new download site. When the latest Version comes on line, that Comming Soon will be replaced with a link to downlaod the latest Version. In the Information window, next to the Breen name, there is a link that reads "To view Click here" That will take you to the NASY site where it says "To Download, Click Portrait".

Sorry about the confusion, and welcome aboard. That gives us I think 10 players now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

REVISED:

Just generate a map so I can see what one looks like.

The game will start on Monday.

Geo, could you please, if it matters in the slightest way, upgrade the game to Fyron QM Delux 2.02. Thank you.

I borrowed some suggestions and rules from other games. I hope you all don't mind. If you want to change any of these, or add to them, please post. We have plenty of time to hash out the additions or subtractions. Thanks.

And if you have not yet JOINED the game, please do so as soon as you feel you can. The name of the game is "An All Star Trek"

Crapy name, but at least it is close to the top of the list.

NOTES:
1. If your going away on an extended leave please find a replacement player
2. If you miss 4 turns without giving a courtisy message I will be bothering you via email.
3. If you do it a second time or if it increases to 8 turns you will be removed from the game.
4. When you feel it is time for your empire to be marked dead. Send me an email I will go in and finish you. PLEASE do not just leave the game without notice.
5. If you have any problems please post them in the game forum or send me an email.
6. If you see anyway that I can improve as a game admin please feel free to let me know via post in game forum or email.
7. Please enjoy the game. (Atrocities)

RULES:
- Tech trading will be allowed for Trade & Research treates and above. Please keep the Tech trades equal.
- No colony population swaping. (Conquer if you want it.) Or negociate a trade ONLY to achieve peace in a disputed sector that resulted in war.
- Retroseries building - is allowed for those who use it.
- Min-maxing of racial characteristics is allowed.
- Using multiple training facilities on moons is allowed.

** I will add these to the description this weekend so please offer suggestions if you feel the need to. Thanks.

> do I need anything else?

Just to promise to be reliable and stay 'til thegame's end :-)

Welcome aboard!

Atrocities, I think I know where you are headed but I feel this is too vague, especially since the acquisition of foreign population has an ENORMOUS effect of the output of one's empire. I.e. in game terms it's a really big deal.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You can get the JPEG Version, which is about 3 MB instead of 12 MB. You have to convert the JPEGs back to BMPs before it is useable though, which is explained in the post announcing the release of the mod. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I vote that we remove this rule.
