Back in 2003 I think I hosted a game called Spacebar. The planets were remapped into a horizontal bar about 900 LY across and about 150 LY wide.
It was ugly. It was brutal. It was the mother of all knife fights. I've been pressured lately to start one more game lately and chose Spacebar II.
I'll get a pic posted to a sample map so you can see the amount of fun you will have. Passworded race files should be emailed to fish at csfbl dot com with "Spacebar" in the subject.

I'm taking a handicap...
GR, UR, and BET, plus one other one that will hinder my PRT.
I know a few of you are working on races. Anyone else interested?

Make sure you mine a lot of I. I'd like to get something for taking all your planets.

I'm interested in the game, but want to testbed a few different ideas before I commit to a whole game strategy. I'd like to create a map similar to the one we'll be playing in, but I've never edited a map before. Where can I get some more help with that? I know that there are editors out there, would appreciate some pointers.
Thanks!

There's a version of Universe Creator on the download page.

You should be able to use that to do it quite easily.

I'm kinda rough on this since I have not done it in awhile.
I use mapper.exe and I create a simple 2 color image in paint, saving it as a gif in my stars! dir.
I run it in in command prompt...
mapper spa.xy testmap.gif
then delete spa.xy
rename mapped.xy spa.xy
then load your turn and start playing
Ships will be out of place, but simply give orders to a planet nearest your HW and it should correct them.

I live up north, in Ely MN, by the BWCAW. If you live in Dinkytown, you are probably a college student. I happen to be a college teacher, at a community college.
