Default Multiplayer game idea

I was thinking this might make a good game. All players have all the racial traits and all characteristics maxed out. It would take 62,000 racial points, so obviously a modified settings.txt file and maybe racial traits file would be needed to start. It should be possible to play using standard data files though after the first turn so it shold be no problem for PBW or PBEM.

I am thinking something mythical sounding for a name. "Olympus Mons" or something to that effect.

Comments?

Hmmm. Most of those characteristics would cancel each other out.

The only differences would be:
- having all racial techs
- having incredible reproduction rates
- blazing through the tech trees
- longer turn processing
- Hardcoded unit/ship limits become much more restrictive.

It would make for some truly massive confrontations, thousands of ships per side and all that...
