My feeling is the same as SJ's.

What are the challenges you have in mind? Generally the most challenging and skill-requiring thing is fighting other players, IMO.

Basicly, the start of the game would be to colonze systems to build up your support then you'd need to be able to get a relatively large fleet through approx 3-5 systems that won't have any support bases for you to rely on. Each of these system would have an SEIV hazard to navigate. Blackhole (not a biggy) an AI race that will be hostile, I've also thought about a bunch of nebula's set up to form a sort of maze (something I've used the map editor to create). Then the end would be getting to the scoring systems and claiming/colonizing as many planets as possible.

My thinking is that you'd have to be at least fairly capable to be able to support a fleet substantial enough as well as research enough tech to get there without waiting too long before the others start their run.
