High tech cost, 1 planet start and a lot of players will make most of these games veeery long. Minimum 100 turns, but my guess is more like 150.
Fun settings, but SE V will probably be at the second patch before this tournament is over

Hate to admit it, but I agree with the big P. But if the settings are set in stone, so be it. I'll throw in my hat anyway and see how it goes. (if we wind up beside each other, P, then we'll just have to work together!)
Send me some info, Tesco, on how to get a check for entry.
Hang on a sec. If tech costs are high, and everyone will on average have access to five systems, how are they going to afford to research mines without risking being rolled over by someone who researched, say, DUC V? And if they can't, then the mid-game is not going to lock up the way it normally does, is it? So we could be seeing eliminations and a resolution pretty quickly.
Bringing tech costs down to medium might bring mines within reach, and actually slow the game down.
And a low-tech "cavemen in space" brawl might be sort of fun 
Or if people really resent High tech cost, why not ban mines altogether?
