With 1 & 2 I think you're in agreement with how I'd like the game to be since the idea for the game is for it to be different to a normal game, randomness fits in with the idea more but I do understand those who think the PRT change is big enough that to also add randomness make the game too unpredicable which is why I proposed the idea in the bar to gain comments rather than proposing the game in the new game forum.
With 3 changing the PRT is easy, changing the full race risks complications that may only show up after the game is started.
It's also likely to lead to similar designs, ie everyone having high number of factories and mines since they can make them cheap to build in some designs and expensive in others to free points elsewhere. Likewise with the LRTs, everyone will have designs with TT, ARM and ISB, none ARM designs will automatically have OBRM, NAS will also be likely to be used in most of them but kept out in a couple to allow building scouts. It in effect gives you more points to play with then you normally would.
I agree with 4, changing in 2400 is almost certainly a non runner, starting with the same PRT would only happen if the players wanted everyone to be the same PRT throughout the game which I'm against, I'm much more in favour of them choosing although I'd prefer it if they should be chosen in advance before the game starts or they are limited to 1 of 2 options either predefined based on current PRT or 2 options selected at random.
With 5, AR is definately out and HE almost certainly, JoaT (20% pop change) and PP (almost guarentees NAS isn't taken) I'm openminded too and would probably put it up for a vote.
