Is one extra facility space in each system really worth 1000 points?

Sure it is, it saves you three turns to build the space port. That's three turns times 500 research, you're 1500 research ahead! lol now that I think of it, maybe not. And from what I have read, one extra move point can mean the difference between moving first and moving Last -- or not moving at all lol. Guess its advance storage, hardy industralists and propulsion experts all the way. And perhaps organics, although you'll take a hit in your overall stats... but the organic armor is too good to pass up lol.

I have been playing SE since SE II came out so Space Empires is a familiar gam but I have never played Online...

I would be interested in playing a game at something like 1 turn every 2 days where I could learn playing Online... but as I said - not exactly new just untried in Human Competition.

Well, Arakiel, here's a suggestion. If you want to get the game going relatively quickly (once you actually start the game, that is) make the tech cost low. That way, research for the more advanced techs costs less, and you all get to the higher tech levels sooner, which can make things more exciting. But then again, some players can fall behind in tech quicker that way, and makes recovering a little tougher. Just a suggestion.

Also, I've been in PBW for less than a year, and in the 10 games I'm in, I'm in the Last 1/2 to 1/4 in score in every single one (I think). So if you don't mind someone with a little more experience playing, I'd be quite happy to play. However, I will totally understand if you don't want someone with a bit more experience playing. Your choice.
