Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
Well, as others might remember, I'm one not prone to mods. So, I'd prefer the gentleman's agreement. After all, I think all the ship discussions are verifiable during play. So, unless I'm overlooking something, ungentlemanly people can be caught.
As to AI doing something if a turn is missed, that's the player's loss. I.e., if the AI researched destroyers, just don't build one. IF the AI later builds a destroyer, you must scrap it. If one misses so many turns that the AI researches, builds and moves a destroyer into play, THAT player shouldn't be playing any more anyway (IMHO). If a player drops, can't the position be "scrapped"?
Finally, I'd suggest limiting fighters to smalls. Bad enough they are around 1/3 the size of a frigate already.
