PBW- Final STM Mod game.

Personally I think a random system generated by the game would be best so as everyone starts with the same level of information.

I would go for a large quadrant dense system with medium number of warp points, probably WPM Balanced from the list of available maps.

2000 racial points is OK with me as well as long as everyone has the same number to spend so as not to give any one player a huge advantage/disadvantage from the start.

Sounds good to me

I'd like to see if a random map is used that the home systems are named after the perspective empires.

The number of warp points should be high to simulate a pseudo-FTL environment.

I ran a test game and the systems are not named after the respective empires, I don't know if you can rename a system in game - anyone?

It's a complex procedure in getting someone else to place the players and edit the map with the map editor to give us our home system names.

The best way for that person to do that is to determine the location and number of starting places required, and then choosing players randomally (i.e. a "hat" lotto) to start in those places.

WOuld it be possible to change the game rules, so each player can freely choose this planet type and atmosphere ? Imho it gets somehow "boring" if many races are resident to rock oxy worlds...
just a thought though.

The honest truth is that most ST races are rock oxygen breathers with the notable exception of the methain borg and no atomsphere 8472. Those I think would need to be changed.

The breen are ICE Rock and so are a few others. I really don't recall what they are all set at. I guess I should have checked but when the next patch comes out, hopefully the AI files will be addressed more throughly to reflect each race more directly.

I agree with Kwok, random map but Star Trek system names.
