Re: Beating the 255 barrier
If the entire game was rewritten to use 256*256 = 65,538 systems, what would happen?
A 300 KB savegame becomes a 90 Megabyte savegame.
Just writing the savegame to disk each turn would take a significant amount of time. Heaven forbid you from trying to download that from PBW each day, even on a high speed connection!
