I'd rather have MM work on AI as opposed to TCP/IP

Dirk - I think if a persistant universe was made, then guys with better experiance should not be able to engage in battle with new guys, otherwise it does not become fun for someone just starting out only to keep getting his butt kicked cause his pdc level 1 can't quite take out the battleship with a full compliment, at some stage, new guys are going to expand into the main arena. A possible solution to this would be a tech level thing, you can't attack an empire with a certain amount of tech levels below your own, but a lower tech level could try it's luck against a higher level.
