PBW Star Trek Game

[tesco samoa]

How about a compromise. Include Intel... But your not allowed to use PPP or ship capture. But everything else is game.

[CNCRaymond]

Yes, a random map with set starting points would work great. I agree with this.

The game name is: An All Star Trek (Game)

Odd name?? Why did you name it this?

[Atrocities]

So, any thought about using a random map with common starting points as opposed to a strictly random map? Would be nice if we could have a little breathing room to get our empires established before the bloodshed starts.

Agreed

[Fyron]

How about a pseudo-sphere map that has 3-4 WPs on each edge of the map that connect to the opposite edge? This would be similar to a Sphere Map, but would allow for more systems than a Grid does, and would also not look like a grid. The purpose is to try to reduce/eliminate the corner problem of the game, where starting off in a corner is almost certain death.

Any thoughts to tech trading? I prefer tech gifts to be Banned so that folk have to go through the more arduous route of trading and gifting ships.

[sparhawk]

Please no Gravey , trading of tech is life and blood for the ferengi . They cann't do without it.
So please allow this.

and then the message we got about intel.
Its stated their that intel should be off, but in this forum, more people are for using intel then against it???????
So what is the score: I vote to use intel (whithout ppp and ship cap.)

It is the entire intel system that sucks, not just a few of the projects.

[Atrocities]

I have read a lot about the Intel issue, and I have agree that it is best that we avoid it this game.

Nice map idea Fyron, if you feel up to it, can you generate one using Star Trek system names with around 200 systems?

Tech trading? I would agree that Tech trading amoung trade and research, partners, and such is perfectly natural and should be considered for this game as the norm.

[Fyron]

Do you have a ST names file to use?

I am not really into placing balanced HW locations and all that. Maybe someone else should make the map.

[Atrocities]

Just generate a map so I can see what one looks like.

The game will start on Monday.

Geo, could you please, if it matters in the slightest way, upgrade the game to Fyron QM Delux 2.02. Thank you.

And if you have not yet JOINED the game, please do so as soon as you feel you can. The name of the game is "An All Star Trek"

Crapy name, but at least it is close to the top of the list.
