I think I just set a new record for fastest loss: 2400.5.
We started 6 sectors away. Yes, SECTORS, not systems. He went for warships, I went for colony ships. Enough said..

Huh? The game default is: Allowed to start in the same system = False. How did that happen, especially in a KOTH game…

One warp away. I started close to my side of the connecting warp point, and so did he.

ouch. Yup - makes me wish there was a way to ensure a minimum starting distance without having to manually place starting locations on a map...
At least the game was quick, heh.

Aaron is working on fixing that for the next patch. He tweaked it in the current beta patches, but it's not quite there yet. I have sent him another email and hopefully he can get it working right.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Before the patch comes out I can offer a temporary solution. After I generate the map normally, I can save it, open it in map editor, put two starting points and load it in game. This ensures that there is enough distance between players.

Electrum vs Nodachi
Nodachi surrenders. The early first contact really messed up my game plan.
Electrum, congrats and I wish you well on your journey up the hill!
