New PBW game starting: "If you build it, they will come..."

"I thought of the fact that someone may get the bright idea to just kill everybody else and thus win by default. I suppose there isn't anything I can do about that. I hoped that if I made the the quadrant big enough we could avoid that."

Actually, this CAN be avoided. Put the homeworld in a system connected to the outside by only a one-way warp point. Then put a system grav shield in that system, or make a level 5 obsure nebula there (can't kill it if you can't see it) That way, they can be beat down to one world.. but no one can ever destroy the homeworld. So they can't kill the race.
