For those of you who missed SAS1 and SAS2, I'm offering a chance to join SAS3. I'm heading out on vacation, so I'm hoping we can gather a good batch of players by around August 10, when I return. These game settings are very fun and open a whole new tech tree and race options. Host is NOT playing.
Players: 8 players, intermediate skill levels (intermediate = at least one multi-player win or several multi-player games under your belt). Host is willing to offer feedback on race design if you ask. Rusty old-timers are welcome as long as you are reasonably experienced.
Universe: Small, normal, distant, SLOW TECH, ACC BBS
Victory: 100% consensus vote from remaining players, alliance win possible (but limited to two).
Schedule: M-T-W-T-F until at least turn 30. Move to M-W-F when at least two players have requested a slowdown.
Race Limitations: ALL races MUST take weapons expensive and the Bleeding Edge Tech LRT. There are otherwise no restrictions. BET and Weapons Expensive will be verified by the host prior to start.
Special Rules: NO TECH TRADING ALLOWED. No scrapping, no pop dropping allies for tech gain, no wolf-lamb. You may not scrap MT ships for tech gain or share MT parts through scrapping. You may trade ships to other players, but if scrapping those ships would produce tech gains, they may never be scrapped (design may be deleted, however). Sending an "observer" ship to watch a battle in hopes of gaining tech is allowed, as long as the battle is between enemies.
Gaining tech through legitimate battle with enemies (in space or through invasion) is allowed and encouraged, however.
NO PRE-GAME ALLIANCES ALLOWED. This ruins the game for everyone.
Cheats allowed: Healing after gating, chaff, split-fleet dodge. All other cheats forbidden (cheap starbases, etc).
In this game, economies will be smaller than average, weapons tech will be much harder to come by, so you may find yourself investing in other technologies to leverage your primitive weapons. Because of the tech trade rules, you'll have to be self-sufficient for tech, or praying for the MT.
Please post your interest here. Race files may be sent to john *dot gates *at ITT *dot com. Please include your e-mail address and race password (if you have one).
Thanks!
John

I shouldn't be so surprised there are people still playing Stars. Just decided to see if the site was still going.
I haven't played in a while, and I may not be that skilled, but I'm all for giving it another try. Sign me up.
MT makes things more fun ^_^.

After having lost so badly in SAS1... I'd like to give it another try in SAS3.
... random events including MTs is fine with me.
I'll neeed some more days for race design, though.

Please count me in. I vote FOR MT insanity.
The Universe is usually not fair.
That would be too easy.Report message to a moderator

Current status on race files, etc:
1. Kaloth, include MT, race file received
2. teefha, no random events, race file received
3. Crappicus, include MT, race file received
4. perrindom, ban MT, race file received
5. wizard, include MT, race file received
6. fenrir, include MT, race file received
7. Altruist, include MT, race file received
8. DenHam, include MT, race file received
Based on the votes, we will be including all random events, and trading with the MT is perfectly legal in this game.
I will send all game information to Ron as soon as I have a race file from Wizard (edit: Received!), which is not doubt on its way to me. If you'd like to make final tweaks to your race you are welcome to do so, but once wizard's file is received I will create the game and send in the files.
EDIT: Game will be generated tonight and files sent to Ron for posting to AutoHost at soonest opportunity.
Thanks!
John
