My thinking exactly! That's why I brought this up in January. SEIV plus the Star Trek mod plus more than five neutrals is probably a whole lot better than BOTF anyway.

Do you realize you have something like 4000 more Posts than me. When did you do this? How did you do this? Why did you do this? And what Posts have I missed?

Look over there! It is a distraction!

I.. think that was kind of my point.

Ok, new rules, you can attack before turn 500. If you don't accidentaly trip over the minefield welcome mat and actually manage to carry out your attack, you get a complimentary black hole in your homeworld system. ^.^ *silly*

Basically my playstyle would be like antimatter to your matter. I couldn't really expect to play multiplayer and have the kind of fun that I want to have. :>

You could achieve this with a higher tech start and limit combat to after 100 turns. But 500 turns, man that is a lot. It boggles the mind.

It might be possible to mod out an AI's ability to colonize or conquer by removing colony components and troops from the standard tech tree (and make them racial techs so you can still use them), which could have an effect similar to what you seem to be after.

hehe, why so complicated? Just remove colonizers from the construction queues and/or designs.

It's actually easier than that. Just don't give them "attack ships" in their construction queues. Only "attack ships" explore. That way, they still colonize and build up their home system, and build defense ships, but don't leave home (until you find them...)
