That's what I thought. Economically it wouldn't be much different to the Neutrals, and the slower pace might help to hide some of the AI's research and design eccentricities. I think the main difficulty would be persuading it to defend its colonies adequately.

Number of systems limit? OIC... well I think 255 systems might be enough. After all, if you had (say) 10 players and a few neutrals/ primitives, that's still >25 systems each. Maybe you could have a few colonisable worlds every 4th or 5th system... that would be about a dozen worlds per empire before they had to start squabbling=-)

The map could be implemented by adjusting the systmtypes.txt file couldn't it? If not, maybe the map editor...
