20+ years after Stars! was released and we're still doing research into its workings...

Well, I was around 20+ years ago Wink

Never an active player, at the time I read a lot of Jason Cawley, William Buttler, Ezequiel Camara et all both in rcgs and in various websites, their style of thorough examination and explanation struck a chord.

Lost touch with the game for several reasons, most critical when upgraded Windows stopped reading my CD.

About a year ago, took the plunge into downloading DOSBoxStar and having a blast relearning to play the game. Solo for the moment, I've been long periods without access to my computer (keeping in touch with the forum with a borrowed tablet) at very short notice, so I won't risk playing.

I have a number of things I want to look into:
a) first and foremost terraforming doesn't work exactly as advertised, right now I can say for sure that it doesn't compare the outcome of the full formula including all three variables; I know this for sure because, trying out JC's Bugs with ranges 30/30/34, I have enough instances where the clear winner doesn't get picked; JC's Foundation Immune/Narrow/Narrow on the other hand worked just right;
b) more work into miniaturization (starbases);
c) items started one turn and finished the next (or later);
d) multi-turn travel;
e) I'm sure I'll think of more Wink

Regards,
Tenderfoot
