i won't play, only have been asked to be a host, so it's not my business Wink

It's not mine either. I have no involvement other than he is using the same basic rules I created. If he chooses to modify them, that is his business.

though...
every race has some restrictions except IS, which under such rules seems to be very powerful. maybe you should consider this...

I encourage anyone who plays or hosts stars to test races and conditions before playing. Since many of the players were repeats in the glacier games, and the last game was not an all IS game...nor did an IS win any of the first 3 games...I will conclude here that you are not seeing all the implications of the rules.

banning fuel tansport isn't harsh handicap
25% cost also won't be a bigger problem than in "normal" game. and with cap misiles banned it will practically affect only bor.

Banning the fuel transport is huge. You take away free fuel, which is very important at the beginning, and even more so for this game variant, as he is not allowing cheap prop. Further, you take away the extra fleet repair for the IS, as Fuel exports are banned too.

I don't believe you were involved in my 3 games, and it does not sound like you are doing anthing but eyeballing this, so forgive me for sounding like a jerk here. I thoughly tested the races, and that is how I came to my conclusions. The vast majority of the game is fought with BB's, and 25% weapons cost in minerals and *Resources* has a huge effect when that ship consists of 20 weapon slots, and 19 non armor slots. Most people don't use armor, so they can gate. So, at a 50/50 Weap vs everything else, you say that ~12.5% extra ship cost in Bora and Res is not gonna make a difference? I think you are sadly mistaken. Smile
