- both of my races will get 5 high tech ships ( unarmed ships )
- center races is not allowed to attack the other races "main" planets untill 2425 ( main means more then 150k pop )
Player Races :

Sounds fun. I am interested.
Race decision will depend on how many players finally sign up, but I think 2 races have a good advantage...
Wm, but IS especially.
Also how strong will the core race be? That will decide viability of -f,qs/f and hp races.
I know my minefields.. but I'm a chaff sweeper.

Do the race restrictions apply to the center race?
And if you are not doing the setup, then you do not have access to the races against you, and you would need the setup person to be a judge too, correct?

Hi.
The core race will have the same restrictions as the other races. The race should only make it harder to get the planet.
It could be that I change the restriction for the center race if we get a full game.
the race has to fight all borders mostly at the same time.
So it could be that I change the weapon research by one level or give some starting ships.
I could say this when I see who is playing and how many player we will be.
Mainly you should think about a normal race like you could build.
IT and SD are high on the list so far.( you will not know the race).

I think that would make the game interesting too, the center race being better with weapons research. And if there are a lot of races against, then maybe allow weapons cheap. It would be very hard to defend against many, better weapons could make the game longer and more interesting.

Quote: I will play if someone else will host
I will help with hosting if you need it. I will be busy next week, but I can help after that. I assume you won't be ready before then since you are still collecting players.

VManuel has offered to host as well, so players who are opting out of playing to host don't need to.
More players would be fun.
Also if there are 12+ races, I would say have 2 core races (both under CC if he's up for it).
I know my minefields.. but I'm a chaff sweeper.

Is there a way to get extra RW points if I play PP? (That is not in the first list... always wanted to see if I could do something with PP.... but just so expensive for the benefits...).

Not decided to join game yet - I would have to play in 2 games at the same time with is
something I prefer not to do (still setup is interesting).
Questions:
How early hostility of central race(s) is handled? My fear is that early it will be strong
enough to take out/cripple border player before others will be able to mount attacks on their
won or just make them significant.
Can slower tech advances be added in game setup ? Longer research time should give central
race(s) better grip on tech edge it will poses over border players.
I assume that central race(s) won't have weapons expensive? What it will be anything? Or just
normal?
As for boosting central race:
Make it CA without ISB and IFE with NRSE ..should slow it down, also BET may be consideration.
Make Generalized research and Weapons expensive mandatory for all (or only border races)

Hi ,
if there are 2 center races they will build like player races.
All players have to set the center races to enemy.
When we have final players we could make some votes for center race/s what should they have.

So far slots open

Hi ,
yes my english is not the best and I had hoped that every one writing here knows that Stars! has a 2d-Map.
Yes Disc would be the better word. And yes I know a disc has no corners.
You will all start next to the endless space.
But as there are 3 more players writing are they wanna play or only show that the host is not best in writing english ?
