Default Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.

Unfortunately, I don't have time for another PBW game right now, but I just thought of an idea for a game that might spark ideas for someone else. The idea is a normal game of SE4 with Ship Construction turned off or limited such that you only have Frigates (Ankle-Biters) and Colonizers as ship sizes available. That's right, no other ship sizes. Yes, there would be some components that you just couldn't put onto a ship - like spaceyard components. Minefields would now be much more of a threat because it would take a fleet of minesweepers to sweep them. Planet defenses would now be formidable. Defense bases would inspire the fear that they should. Basically you would have to use massive amounts of Frigates to overwhelm your targets. You would have to be very creative in your ship designs. Anyone wanting to use this idea, feel free.

edit: spelling.

(Appolgies in advance to Slick for editing the thread title. Didn't want to start a new thread. I will switch it back when we get someone.)
