You dirty guy! I promised myself I wouldn't play this game due to RL, and now it looks like you are gonna force me. GRRR!!! I'll play on one condition not mentioned in your setup: if the turn length is 48 hrs (or more) I'll play. There, are you happy??!! You made me do it. I can't believe you made me do it! In fairness to the other players getting my turns in on time, I'd need the 48 hrs occasionally. On a normal turn, I could get them in at least daily, though.

You twisted, evil, manipulating, ...well actually pretty super guy...

What say you?

Great idea!

Count me in. The real challenge is working through various racial techs to work out the impact of only having little ships... sounds of deep pondering.

3 in a row. Not like me at all. Needless to say that I haven't played this type of game yet, and this is not a complaint, but I think the game will be ruled by Transport Carriers. We'll see how it actually turns out, but I think everyone will gravitate to fighters due to the cargo capacity of the transports. Either way it will be fun and a learning experience.

Hmmm, well I can run some tests and see how they stack up. It's only room for three more launch bays over a frigate and it's slower becasue of the engine limit. I am thinking a couple dozen frigate wraships with one PDC each ought to be able to handle a large number of fighter. But I could be wrong. We could limit people to small fighters as well if we think they are going to dominate that badly. But I don't know. I could be wrong of course but fighters are just so suceptable to PDC, I just can't imagine them dominating anything.

I hadn't planned on taking out intel. At this point it's in. That could change before game start but if it does I will give you an opportunity to adjust your empire file of course.

I'll probably join tonight if that's ok. This sounds like it will be an interesting game.

No problem. I have it set for 20 players at the moment, although I likely wont wait for 20. We'll leave it open a few days. I only really want people that are interested in the idea and will stick with it so I am not going to beat the bushes to drum up players or anything.

So as it stands, the restrictions will be per gentleman's agreement? I have no problem with that.
