New game idea

Ok, I like this better than my idea. I prefer smaller games, and getting five players should not be that difficult. But would this unduly penalize the None race? The other four could develop and utilize all three colony types, but the none guys would be limited to just the Rock and Ice because of their atmosphere. Of course they would have moons everywhere. I guess it's the same old argument all over again.

I don't know if anyone did a statisitcal breakdown of average facility spots assuming a "breath only own atmosphere type" game.

Oh, I think the bonus gained from 5 facilities on every moon for the none'rs more than make up for missing out on the gas planets. For one thing because the gas planets will be roughly divided four ways.

This gives me an idea for a system based mod. Redo the system and quadrant types to make type or atmosphere specific systems.

Sounds cool. Just for added effect, play the game under proportions.

Yeah, and if we get started right away, I might live to see the end of it.
