Hmm... this looks like fun, when do you plan to start the game? Can I still join? I don't have FQM yet but I can get it later tonight(it's to big to DL now), right now I'm getting the smaller race files. It said on the PBW post that the Breen were still available, but I don't see their ships on the link you posted, it just says "coming soon", can I get them else where?

Edit: Allright I found the breen on New age ship yards, will that be ok? and what do the Breen breath, I know it ain't oxegen(they may live on an Ice planet so I'll put them on one). All I have to do is get the FQM. do I need anything else?

You can get the JPEG Version, which is about 3 MB instead of 12 MB. You have to convert the JPEGs back to BMPs before it is useable though, which is explained in the post announcing the release of the mod.

Atrocities, I think I know where you are headed but I feel this is too vague, especially since the acquisition of foreign population has an ENORMOUS effect of the output of one's empire. I.e. in game terms it's a really big deal.

I vote that we remove this rule.

Negotiation is irrelevant.

You will be assimilated.

We will add your biological and technological distinctivness to our own.

You will adapt to service the Borg.

It is amusing to see the irrelevant Borg continually talking about what is relevant and what is not relevant. We will see just how irrelevant negotiations are when we meet on the field of battle.

Gravey would you recommend that we just can populations trades period for this game? I am game either way, I feel that trading populations gives some players way to much of an advantage especially if they meet early on as opposed to other players first contact.

FQM Dx starts the players homeworld off with like a lot of population. So I think population growth won't be a problem.

I honestly think that if you want another players population, you should take it from them in battle, and not through the back down while everone esles back is turned.

If a third party is involved in the negociations, and can certify that a player conceeded a territory to another player as a means to obtain peace following a war, then I guess that will really have to be up to the players, and the arbitrator will have to post about his decision in the forum.

I played one other game that did this a long long time ago, and I thought it worked well. It prompted some good role playing IIRC.

If the system is abused, and I sincerely doubt it would be by you guys, then we can scrap it.

What do ya say?

Species 1417, Tholian.

Bio-Crystalline organism.

Advanced technology.

Extremely hazzardous.

...

Your assimilation can wait.

I personally prefer to have no population swapping at all, and have the acquisition by conquest only. This is usually what I try to play and find it works well.
