Playing the game under normal conditions it is not a problem.

But when you factor in fqm maps , changing the default systems to greater than 100 then yes it becomes a problem

That is an excellent point Tesco. When I think about the few games that I have had problems with a talisman player, they have all been games with something unusual involved. A denser then normal map like FQM that allows the player to get established quicker, or a high tech start. In a regular stock game you just need to find the player and attack him as soon as you find him really. Cause there the research thing becomes a big deal.

The ideal is when you catch them just as they get to talisman, becasue they are normally way behind in other tech areas and haven't got the talisman fully emplyed yet. You don't even need a gang then. You could do it by yourself.
