Actually I think I expanded at pretty near breakneck speed. My homesystems were almost on the right hand edge so we really were about as far from each other as we could be in this game. I ended up with 30+ planets and 10-20 colony ships enroute by turn 20 and had used up almost all the rock planets on my side of the quadrant by turn 50 and had to research gas giants. I might have gotten another couple systems deeper into your side of the map if I had sent all my ships in that direction only, but I had no idea you weren't right above or berlow me at the time.

I'll have to call you on this one a bit. From my nearest homeworld to where we first me, Detran, it Detran was my 8th jump (not using the new warplines I made). Detran was your 3rd jump from your nearest homeworld. We finally settle with you getting Fezzran (which was the 4th jump from your nearest homeworld and 7 jumps for me). So, at my best shipyards, the homeworlds, I had 6 jumps to make it to the front (and worse considering 2 of my homeworlds were one jump further back while your 2-homeworld system was nearest). Soooo....
