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.

Gandalph... Sorry I think we lost our emails on this one. I will be the tug... Mod the tech tree to include the unique Trait TUG... With cloak level 5 or 6... so a cloaked ship can watch the tug... and make sure the game ends properly...

The tug race would have unique engines , cc and a unique QT Reactor... zero maintence and no damage...

I can make the map if you want to play ....

I agree with sending the Tug back to the center. Otherwise the Tug could spend an unwanted amount of time in one corner of the Map. This way a player who looses the tug has to scramble to get it back again.

Well, there is no "corner" on this map

, but I know what you mean.
