I am a little confused as to the hab requirement. I think you should drop it. I like the CA restriction BUT, CA is such a powerfull PRT that for a beginner game you should ban it. Even making it take Ultimate Recycling and Mineral Alchemy aren't going to hurt it much.
Stick with the meddium universe - it's a nice size to play a full game in.
I'll be happy to check everyone's files and host the game if you'ld like.

In general, there is nothing actually wrong with the hab requirement. However, making all races use the center point of the hab ranges isn't going to do much more than hurt race designs and handicap them. It seems that there will be enough players for the game to make it a good game so, the hab restriction is not necessary.

I think we're up to 6 players, including you. It was 5 after I joined, then knightpraetor dropped and neilhoward joined.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but current players are: Effluviant Walrus, Magic, Nike71, f7redrik, Adacore, neilhoward, Shadow Whist. Two slots still left for anyone else who wants to join, right?

You can get one from Ron - the administrator of this site. Follow this link for the information here in the forum.

Up to $6? Is that right? That's so little it'd be swallowed up in paypal fees, surely - will Ron mind if I send more? Should I mail him or something too, or is the donation enough?
Also - how how quickly should I expect a response from Ron?
EDIT: Setting up a Paypal account, which I guess will take a couple of days, since I seem to have forgotten the details of my old one.

Just send Ron a PM and discuss it with him. I'm certain he wouldn't mind if you want to donate more than $6. He built Autohost and has run it for the Stars! community for free at his own cost for many years.
I doubt that it would take more than a week to have it all arranged.

Yes, the offer to host the game is still open. You will need someone to check the race files for you anyway since you have pre-requisites defined so I may as well take care of both tasks.
Making CA take weaps expensive would hurt it some and banning it from having cheap factories and mines would certainly crimp it. CA is definitely not a broken PRT - it is by far the strongest PRT in Stars!. I wouldn't be surprised though that by not allowing a CA to have cheap mines and factories if you end up with someone making a factoryless CA. Banning the Orbital Adjuster won't hurt the CA at all - it will prevent him from using them to terraform allies worlds. To 'unterraform' enemy planets he'll simply use retro bombs.

I don't really mind either way, but I'm not sure a dense universe would be a great idea. More experienced players can perhaps give better advice, but I think medium normal is seen as perfectly adequate for an 8 player game, right?
Also, when are we aiming to start? I still need to get my paypal set up and get a new serial from Ron.
