The story is great

I hope I won't meet the ancient ones any more, for they are devious creatures

For all the players that have already committed themselves to this game; the game is now set up on PBW so that we can begin the joining process and have it all set up by the start day in a few weeks. Game title is Return to Hell 2.

In the case of using the talisman the turn may be rolled back if it is needed in order to correct the situation. You will also be required to gift your ships to the empire you attempted to use it against. So not only are you hurting yourself by losing those ships but you are helping your enemy by giving the ships to them. But the person receiving the ships will be required to either a) scrap the ships for the resources or b) refit the ships to remove the talisman.
As of right now that is the primary punishment for using the talisman but potentially harsher punishments can be thought up. (Suggestions?)

i was thinking about the talisman issue.

One problem with gifting them is that the players economy might collaspe if it is a 500 ship fleet.

Then they have to move it. and scrap it.

Perhaps a better solution would be roll the turn back.

The player who used the talisman must take all the ships ( verified by a 3rd party who is not playing in the game ) to their nearest base. or base ship yard. And then scrap them.

Also they must pay the player who they attacked the maintence for those ships for 4 turns.

Natually all the other players will know about this and public flogging will commence.

If it happens a second time ( Say after a 4 turn grace ) Then the player should be removed from the game. His ships scrapped ( with talisman). Empire turned over to another player to take over.

Just some ideas

Now the always open warp point.

what happens if I close one off... And then open another one and it turns out i cannot open a warp point to that system.

So I try another one the turn after and it opens

Should there be punishment for that ?

I like your ideas for punishment for using the talisman. I will write up in more detail something along those lines to put into effect for this game.

I don't feel there should be. As long as you are honestly trying to open up a warp point to another system that very turn. Now if you go 3, 4, or 5 turns in a row and still haven't opened one then there should be a penalty to pay I think.

Are there any restrictions on using retrofit-series to quickly construct sphereworlds?

If you want to spend the cash to do so then feel free. But since we have some realitive new ones in this game I think it would only be fair if we told them the process and exactly what retroseries is. I am not an expert at it so I will allow someone else who is better qualified to explain it. If there are players who do not know how to do this and no one is willing to explain it then I will have discourage the use of retroseries; but I doubt we will have a problem with that.
