Star Trek, Quadrants of Conflict

Hi,

Lord Evil: Yes I intend to control the AI-minors the same way you are doing in '
Menace of the Drow Elves '. But I really hope that there will be people that are willing to play one of the minor Races.

-- HELLO OUTTHERE, Don't be afraid sign up as a minor. Winning is not the most important in this game, keeping your ROLE is. And if you playing a minor, you could Last to the end. (example: the Vulcans, join the federation soon and you could even bear it to the end and win.)

I agree with your points about planet creation etc.. So indeed it will be a rule on TRUST.
But I think we are all grown-ups here and nobody will cheat. (BTW. as soon as someone opens/closes a WP, we all know the next turn)

I will post a list of rules tommorow, after I sorted all of my mails out. Because I'm drowning in mails and message about this game.

Just a small suggestion: Minor races should get 1500 racial points, PLEASE ! This would make the game more interesting for minor race players(like me)

please please

Okay, 1500 racial points and a medium sized planet instead of an large one is more than enough penalty.

Inti,

BTW. you will need those points with the Borg at your doorstep

Remember, if you choose events to be on Catastrophic, warp points CAN close on their own through natural events. So just because a warp point closes, that doesn't mean someone was cheating. The solution for this would be:

1. Have either no events, or have events on anything but Catastrophic.

2. If a warp point closes (I don't think warp points naturally open but i could be wrong about that) then we could get someone impartial to look at the game file, and take a look at the ships of the players who were in the system at the time of the event. If a warp point closing ship is found, the appropriate measures can be taken, but if its a natural event, the game can go on.

Personally, I favor option 2, because I like having the events on catastrophic. The chance that I could get a message that my star is going nova adds a lot of fun to the game for me

. Then again, maybe I'm just masochistic

Please tell me what you think of this.

[EDIT: Warp points do NOT randomly open. Only close. And I was wrong about the severity. The event severity only needs to be High not Catastrophic for a warp point to close.]

Yeah, but what can you say about this:
Type := Warp Point - Opened
Severity := High
Effect Amount := 1
...
Start Message 1 := Our scientists have detected fluctuations in [%SystemName], They suspect that a new warp point is forming. We should send a ship to study this phenomenon.
