You are free from any pressure to do well, becuase as you pointed out many of these empires are in hopelessly bad situations. This allows you to experiment, learn the mechanics of the game and whatnot, without working too hard on the strategy. These two tnihgs are hard to learn at the same time.

Players in exsisting games will typically give a replacment player some slack, stopping wars, etc, until you get your feet under you. They are usually just pleased to have someone controlling the empire rater than the AI.

That is what I am hoping too... and I really don't mind playing games where it is rather hopeless as long as I can go out in a blaze of glory

Mine every strange place a ship might pass, send drones where no-one would expect, generally make myself hard to destroy...

But ofcourse I am speaking theoretically now since I still get trouble with the AI

Also the latest game I'm playing is simultaneous movement, that is the same way the PBW works right?
