Use a Small/Packed universe with Acclerated BBS Play checked and your race as the only one.

I would like to repeat my earlier request to do validation on medium/sparse rather than small/packed (since game setup is sparse). For AR, initial expension is crucial due to the sqrt so sparse and packed play really quite different.
(I've not actually made 20k in 2450 for sparse yet, but that might be my problem Smile )

The validity check, as I understand it, is intended to assure that all of the players have a minimum level of competence with AR, so that the game is not unbalanced due to poor race design by some of the players.

If any given player is willing to iterate through random seeds in order to get a result that meets the validity check, I strongly suspect that player is sufficiently competent to not unbalance the game.

You all have too many issues going on, I think

There's the game setup.

There's a test bed setup (which should be close to the game setup)

There's the Race Test setup (which is what I'm talking about)

I don't think it's possible to make a (workable) AR race at can get to 20k by 2450 in a med/sparse universe and I wouldn't even try.

with a player's brother (Asmodai) potentially adding a player.

In a medium sparse universe, yes 10k is achievable with no other players and a reasonable extra research going into weapons to simulate a real game. In my testing, I had a couple different designs get to ~12k under same conditions.

As my brother signalled to me need of vacation from Stars! and probably this game also, i`ll gladly take his place in incoming game. Count me in, if replacement will be needed.

If a early september start can be confirmed I am back in as well if there is still space. I can submit my race end of August (currently on holiday, so I don't think I'll have time to playtest much)

I won't be genning before the first week of September in all likelihood

10k@2450, medium/sparse, accBBS, no max minerals, be good?

For some reason I am not getting emails when a new post happens here. I will have to investigate my ISP spam filters.

yes, this
sorry i didn't put in the uni specs for the testbeds
