Tug of War - Progress Thread

I have revised the mod as it was possible to retro the design. The Tug is now a racial specific 100kt transport and I gave it 3 MP's and supply generation of 50 per turn.

The game is now setup at PBW, which you can get to by clicking here. We will start the first game when we get 8 players.

Wow, had to bump this off page 2.

We have 3 players now, looking for 8 total. Anyone else up for an interesting challenge?

C'mon people, sign up for this baby so we can get it going! My computer isn't getting any newer

Ok, well I just applied to join. I'll give it a try. I'll get man handled probably but it should still be fun.

The Game Master would have to keep an eye on the Tug to verify it's 2 MP's, until I revise the mod to make a different, and racial specific, hull size.

Since the player can't retrofit it back to the original state, it would be plainly obvious when they attempted to claim the win ("ok, but I don't see a tug class ship in orbit of your homeworld, so you don't win")

Also, if/when the tug is destroyed, do you place it back at the center, or where it was lost?

The ship can no longer be retro'd as it is racial specific. I have not yet decided on whether the ship would be placed at it's lost location or back in the center, so this is open for debate. I am leaning to back in the center as a sort of penalty for not being able to get it home.

I would recommend sending it back to the center as well. As you said a penalty for letting it be destroyed or some such. Just an opinion.
