Loser, PM me the name of the system which puzzles you.

For a map of this setting, the worse start I saw was Murden in PBW total annihilation. His only homesystem had a random system wide move 1 each turn. He was a newbye, and he discovered that it applied also to units.
So each turn he looked sadly at his mines drifting away, as were later a few sats and a cripled warship of him.

Last : defensive players will go to hell.

EDIT : ok, I loaded the map into the mapeditor and pinpointed the location of one of your homeworld with the player order. I feel sorry for you (trying not to laught). But you'll have to live with it. In fact it could be worse : think about Geoshmo in Return to Orion with his only homeworld located in a shieldless system, and with an agressive alien just 1 system away using...organic armors.

I am really sorry, but your situation really gave me a good laught.....

Oh I can live with it. And it is pretty funny. It will just limit my use of certain tactics and tricks. On the other hand, it also opens up some interesting tactics... weird interesting tactics...

So hey, I'm in this one for the Gold. Let's go.

Yeah... interesting... I can't even think about what might be 'strange' with our side...

Hey...can any of you tell me where to look for long term guilding with this game? I'm fairly convinced it will be a staple for me for years to come. I'm an avid turn based Strategist gamer for many years...TalonSoft stuff and the like...and this one seems to fit the bill remarkably in it's replayability and enthusiast base...So where should I be looking?

Not sure what you mean by "guilding". Could you elaborate?

Sure..by guilding I mean permanent teams who play together or against each other all the time. Or is the community basically a guild by itself in size? I thought I saw something that was like a "Galactic Sized" map (meaning like 100 generated maps with front lines etc), that must have many players playing at same time.

Also...can anyone tell me what are the most "essential" mods? Shipsets? I see Atrocities (for instance) has a Phuckload of Sheeyat out there...I just want to know which ones I should grab first...what ones most players would consider the "best"...are some good for AI only while others better for graphics...etc..

Thanks for anyone taking time to answer this.
