Looking for players for a new NEWBIE game.

[douglas]

I've applied to join. I have a few questions about rules:

"No tech trading" - does that include trading ships just to analyze them? What about population trading?

Will we be forced to waste research and facility space on intel facilities that are almost impossible to use offensively without an overwhelming advantage, and even with such an advantage won't usually do very much for the cost?

Will the extremely overpowered Deeply Religious advanced racial trait be allowed?

Are we using tesco's suggestion of turning on the "every player sees entire map at start" option?
