Hey Gand. How about trades and gifts all together. And make it a rule NO TRADES NO GIFTS.

That way if you want something you will have to go to war for it....

I may take this to a vote. It does seem, in some of the games that I have played, that Tech Trading gets out of hand. It may be better in this type of game to only get what you research or take by force.

High Tech Cost and Tech Trading allowed - makes the actual gaming irrelevant, only problem is to form a good and effective tech trading alliance. Though tempted, I'll not join a PBW game with tech trading allowed (ship trading and analysing is bad enough) - unless its a 1-on-1

I know that from similar games, it is too much emphasis on diplomacy and/or prearranged alliances due to personal knowledge (happens), and the actual strategy game aspect has little effect. I prefer planing, managing and solving problems like too many borders for too few fleets
