I would like to play in this game if you still have room.

This game concept is so unusual that it might actually be interesting.

Please reserve a spot for me on the start line - assuming there's still at least one left.

Certainly true.

All vs ccmaster... *grin

Surely I feel tempted, too,... to be honest mostly tempted to play on ccmasters side against everybody... but the time the time... where are the days when one seemed to have time in abundance and never enough games.

Hi ,

about 2 center races we could think about when we have enouth players. Also I have to say that I dont want to play against me when I play 2 races

The core race should only hold the planets and make it harder for everyone to get the core planet.
If you let me play 2 races I have a chance to win the game.

That's what I thought as well but then again... 2 vs everybody else didn't really work out in my last game. While the player community has become small, the percentage of really good and experienced players left is higher than in the past and most likely to force one down to bitter hard reality: loosing. But then again: no tech exchange and battleorders to attack everybody really IS an advantage for the center player(s).

I for one definitely want to start as soon as possible too. So I guess we all can start by sending our race files to vmaunel. There. Now he has mine Smile

You can send them to victorstarshost@gmail and I'll send a reply as soon as it's downloaded.

The sample universe will be up shortly. I actually uploaded directions on how to make your own in the Hosting forum, if you want to make a sample for your race.

Rock On,

Victor.

Send away!

Looks very nice. Is that a med packed stretched large w/ diameter ~1030?
Is that 540 stars in 833k ly^2, or ~6.5 density?
It doesn't look that dense at first glance, but I am a bad judge.

Wow a lot of stars! Thanks for the sample. Have a couple of questions. Is the distance between players HW in the sample going to be similar to real game setup? Range is 171LY all the way to 286LY. Seems a big advantage or disadvantage. Any considerations on starting mineral concentrations?

Good questions!

Is that a med packed stretched large w/ diameter ~1030?
Yeppers.

Is that 540 stars in 833k ly^2, or ~6.5 density?
For 14 players, that's our number. Don't know if we can go to 15, but that would increase it very slightly.

Is the distance between players HW in the sample going to be similar to real game setup? Range is 171LY all the way to 286LY. Seems a big advantage or disadvantage.
Distance between HWs will NOT be exactly the same for each player, but will not vary as much as the sample. Expect a variation of +/- 15 ly per player.

Any considerations on starting mineral concentrations?
Good eye - yes, the mineral conc will be at least 50% for each mineral.

One other item that didn't happen in the sample (this was just so you could see how the universe would look, including starting middle player) is that the planets within 81 ly of each player will be adjusted per their hab range. If you have a 1/5 hab range, expect that at least 1 in every 5 worlds within 81 ly will be green. Outside of that, you're on your own.

Hi ,

14.Players is the list max as I play 2 races in the center and you could not play more then 16 Races in a game.

But we have not heared from all players back so far. If there is a open slot you will get it first.

Still looking for files from Altruist, Trader, JScoble, and Neil, but another player - Alek - has requested to join and already sent in a file. I will begin to prepare with what I've got in a couple of days. I will, of course, make another announcement beforehand.
