I'm not much for jumping through those types of hoops in a game. Pitting my Race and my (feeble) skills against others is where my pleasure comes from. In my experience as a wargamer "cute" rules cause more concentration on exploiting loopholes and take away from the basic point of Stars! which, as Barry Kearns so eloquently put it, is Killing People and Breaking Things
Rwiab I attracted a nice mix of players who stayed with the game through thick and thin. Why fix something that ain't broke?
