Looking to start a new game, only for newish players, especially ones who have played alot of hotseat and AI games, but few or no online games (no experts - i respect you guys enormously but would never want to play you!).
Game will be tiny/small, depending on how many people i get
Any racial design except double or treble immunes.
AccBBS
Public scores
I will be playing, but i'm not sure how actively...
Rebuilt universe to no planets in a large centered circle
Game will probably start in september, or whenever i can get a place on autohost after (holiday for two weeks soon)

OK, got a slot, game will be start about next weekend!
24hr gens, small dense universe, AccBBS, PPS, Any racial design EXCEPT for dbl and tri-immunes. your PRTs will be told to all players (levels the field a bit). I will be playing as a player, i got a guy to be a "third party" and he will check files. obviously no cheats, except split fleet. i cannot enforce 'no chaff' easily, but i hope i can trust you. The universe will be remapped to approx. this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/Lordpenguin/Stars/cir cle2.bmp
ie no stars in the center. i will also redistribute the homeworlds if not evenly spaced.
Currently seven players:
Me
TheGoaT
cherniy
Atmos
Thul
dejan
Sandman
please start emailing me your race files at justin_e_dee@hotmail.com (include passwords)

with chaff, i don't want to lay down the law, i would just prefer it if there weren't hundreds of xray scouts etc.

Hi Lordpenguin,
I fear that you have to lay down the law - otherwise, you will have discussion about that during the game - especially when you are playing too.
Of course, defining chaff is not easy, as you don't want to ban the usage of i.e. frigate hordes. Chaff can be made from other hulls than scout or frigates - you have to make sure that there are no loopholes. And you have to decide whether you want to allow chaff sweeping...
I suggest you make clear rules before the beginning of the game...
Have fun,
Andreas/wizard

Brother and I are new to this forum and Stars! online.
My questions are:
a) Is recruitment still open? If so my brother and I would like to play.
b) Are there any PRT or LRT restrictions? I am figuring not since you said "any racial design except double and triple immune", but I just want to make sure there is not a hidden online rule that most would know but I don't.
c) Concerning chaff. By 2450 I shouldn't have a problem with it, however I have always been a fan of the hoard strategy. Such as my personal favorite for early-mid game is to use destroyers, and sometimes frigates to attack in large groups. A common design would be best armor/shield, best engine, and my best beam weapons. So my question here-in is if the ship is obviosally fitted to fight is it still chaff even if it is over tbe 10 limit(in case of the frigate). This would really help if I go with IS, the croby shamar(sp?) can help make a frigate hold it's own.
Anyways, personally I just felt chaff would be the second part of you definition " any ship with only basic (laser/xray/alpha) weaponry and engine " it is then obvious that it ain't going to be used as a straight fighter at 2450 or later(unless their weap/prop tech is low).
d) And lastly this is just a question that I am asking out of curiosity, Without the option of double or triple immune wouldn't that be limiting one who plays the HE... I would usually take a double immune as them... of course I am far from being a HE expert, for that matter I am far from and expert anything.
~Hunnuli
P.S. Part of the reason that ask on chaff is because the frigate hull is my favorite one(no clue way) and I always try to find some way to use it effectively.

which hulls, with what kinda devices on board gonna be considered as "chaff"? i mean, u can use scout/frigate with gatling on it as mine sweeper, or as a chaff (a little expensive, but still ok, right?
