Yep, we are indeed getting off topic, so let me try to wrench this thread back to Spiralus. I have moved the discussion about possible new games to:

OK, we are now in turn 8 of Spiralus, and things are developing much faster than I had anticipated. Amazing how much can happen in 8 turns. Initially we didn't have much to talk about as we all build colonisers and scout ships, but now:
The Dragon Hegemony has already made contact with 3 races. The Amon'krie immediately turned hostile and have already destroyed two of my colonisers. Research has immediately shifted to defensive technology, and I should have mines on the next turn.
We have also encountered ships led by "Spock" and by "The General". That corner of the galaxy seems quite cramped, so it will be interesting to see how they wish to handle diplomatic relations. If all goes well I'll have treaties with them soon.
I really miss having the Propulsion Expert trait, my colonisers are sooo slow.
Then again they don't loose time going through wormholes into new territory.
Did I mention yet that I love being an Ancient Race? :-)
How is everybody else doing?
