PBW "newbie game"

Dragonlord, I have no idea why it is implemented that way. It's not consequent with how cargo is handled so I don't understand it.

As for your start in your game, yes it is good. Two breathable planets aint all that usual and if they are both medium or above in size count yourself lucky. And if I am correct in assuming you only have one warp point leading our of your homesystem then it sounds to me like you have a really good starting position. Good luck.

I re-gened until I got the map I wanted- I like the "all WPs connected" OFF, then re-gen the map until they are all connected approach.

I got an easily defensable system too.

Phoenix, I like that map generation approach too. I hope spoogy and the nostro player hurry a bit, in this initial stage it takes me no more than 5 minutes to play a turn, so if we're all behind our PC's we could play 3 turns a day or so at least...
Then again I am lucky enough to have an always-on connection (cablemodem) so I know immediately if email arrives with a new turn.
Dial up Users would have more delays

BAD NEWS:

We need to restart the game. I generated my empire from the "Quick Start" menu and it put a differnt password on my empire than what I gave to PBW.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Don't ever generate a race from the quick start menu to save time because SE4 puts passwords on all races to prevent tampering.

Sorry guys, my bad.

I have just uploaded my turn. I cannot reveal too much information about my locations, but it will serve adequately until I am destroyed soon time in the future...

Never mind that Last post. I got the password thanks to the help of geoschmo. No restart needed.

I uploaded my file. My start is kind of bad. No breathable planets. :-(
