If I may offer some advice: -- Only the HE AI poses any challenge at all, with the AR AI posing a challenge only if it has plenty of space to grow and reach high tech. The PP AI is at best a nuisance unless at very close quarters. The rest of the AIs don't expand and don't usually build attack fleets.

Don't know about this as I always use Random Enemies, but I've at least seen recently the SD AI expand... don't know if he'd attacked, he's been dead meat anyhow ) On the other hand, Crappicus wanted to play a large/huge dense/packed Universe, shouldn't that be enought for AR's?

Also, I think I want to be either SS or IT.

I'm in... SS or WM would be best for me, maybe IS... whatever works.

I've got an IS race I'd like to give an attempt, if that's fine with ADG_Wraith?

99% of my Stars! experience is playing against two real-life buds (which doesn't work anymore, since Stars now INSISTS we all use the same serial code, which we really, really don't.) and single-player VS 15 Harder AI's.

Even less experience against humans on my count I'm currently finishing my first game against humans, though with an amazing result )

For the setup, in that mentioned game (6 players + 2 AIs), I realized that there is some order in the way Stars distributes the players... Don't know the exact order, but the AIs were Nbr7 and 8, myself being 6. The result was, that the AI ended both at about 200ly - 250ly from my HW (HE and PP). Which was actually very fine in that game, as some players had enough problems even without any interference...

Public score: I do like it too, though not in Human vs human plays...
For the setup, it's just fine with me whatever you choose, just need the information for the race design. As for keeping the HW positions, this means to me that the race needs to be designed mainly as a standard race and not as a team play tuned race?
