PBW idea "Rules of Engagement",is there enough interest?

That's great.
I'll have tre special systems then.
1.The Senate with 19 one way warp holes ending on barren small moons. Made for embassies. This will be the Senate system.
2. The arena, an empty system with no wormholes. The Orions open wormholes there when someone issues a challange.
3. The Orion system (I got a real good idea of where to place this) In a secret location.

I'll start making the map later this week and put a game on the PBW.
The storm of posters in this thread makes me feel terer must be a big interest in this game !!

I'll see if I get any players for it...

Ooh, Orion!

I was thinking of something similar a while back, but I couldn't figure out how to do the Orions... now is this the MOO3 era where the Orions (really Antarans) have a huge fleet or the MOO2 era where there is a lone Guardian and Antaran raiders occasionally pop out of hyperspace and glass your colonies?

Huge fleet, well; the Players will propably have bigger fleets, but not as advanced as the Orions.

But I'll have to finis another PBW game first before I can start this one.

All players can see where all star systems are located on the galaxy map, so these hidden systems won't exactly be hidden.

You could have several cut-off systems, though, with only one being the one with the Orions.

Also I think you can make one-way warp points using the map editor. You just can't create them during play.

hmm, wasn't there a way to stack systems in the map editor? Orion could be hidden 'under' any other system then.

Yeah, that would work. But, creating WPs there would be problematic, and it would look odd if a WP was created from the Orion system.
