I'll manually host it if you don't mind me playing an observer race.

Everyone should send their races to me - no passwords please since I'm manually hosting the game. When I get all races in I'll generate the game a few times until I get a reasonable starting distribution with reasonable mineral concentrations. Send the files to whsmith at welho dot com. Please note that sometimes my ISPs mail server screws up a little (I think they've been in the process of upgrading their servers) but all mails do get here - they sometimes just take an extra hour or so.
I'll create the observer race as a OWW and everyone should set the observer to freindly status. If I get ambitious enough I'll move the Observer HW to a corner so it's not usefull as a refueling stop for anyone.
Regards,
Ptolemy

Lets make sure there's at least one of each - CA, JOAT SD and IT. Wouldn't hurt to have an AR and an SS also.

Hi!

Even with better SB jamming, I don't think AR would survive long in this game

With 15 planets per player (assuming 8 players) that's quite true. Even for other races is that number quite low. Therefore I'd suggest using dense universe (~20 planets per player), to give players the chance to get some higher tech levels (test some more advanced stuff), before serious fighting starts.
BTW I'm testing a CA - a fairly standard "HG monster from hell", and it's not even close to the usual monster. Much more like a HP, but even more fragile - just kill those expensive CoHs and it's in deep s... erm... trouble.
Ptolemy, I need one more day please to test that punny race that was once upon a time the mighty CA. 
BR, Iztok

The mod site ( http://darkcluster.com/crabby/ ) is down for me most of the time. I used a version I downloaded 01/21/06 - is it the latest one?
As I see, this looks like quite a good mod to add more balance into the game, despite most MT items are thrown away...
WBR, Vlad

I still have only the one race file received... (I'm not at home right now so, perhaps it is actually 2 I've received)

Can I ask, though... what is the purpose of the mod?
