I anticipate using Universal Strategies and PvK Balance, do the interested players have any other suggestions?

I anticipate having one shipset for all (with player-submitted race and main pics for their factions), but I wouldn't stop someone from using a separate shipset if they justify it.

I anticipate a game heavy on the diplomacy, roleplay and treachery (with a separate news/story thread to accompany the game), so plan accordingly.

I was following the other thread. I for one would be interested in joining. For now I am off to bed, I'll check progress tomorrow.

Treachery, betrayal and plotting! What an appealing prospect indeed!

So I would be interested by such a game, and I would only have one suggestion for now: what about using a mod such as the one in Strange Races, in order to make some changes to balance the game a bit? (For example, weakning the strength of the Three, DUC, PPB and APB in this order)

And speaking of mods, I would second your mention of PvK Balance Mod as well, especially if you decided to make varied Empires as it was aluded to in the other thread.

One vote for StrangeMod.

Any ideas/suggestions for a shipset?

Sign me up.

I want in.

I'd lean against modding the techs, but it's not a terrible idea.

I vote for a nice, simple shipset: Stock Terran.

The portraits... that'll be fun. If we're going FASA on this one I want dibs on Steiner.
