[Atrocities]

The point is that there would be several players, and you would not know when or by whom you were going to be attacked, thus you would have to be extra dilligent in your war preprations for if you anticipated the wrong empire was going to attack, well.....

The game would work best with limited resources or dwindling resources. The more you have, the more it costs you. So keeping a large fleet on hand would be too costly. But you could keep a few small battle Groups, but no major war Groups.

Additionally this type of game would work, because its very simular to BOTF style of game play. You expand, and as you do so, you have to take into account that other empires are watching you very very closely, waiting for an opening in which to strike.
