Many people asked why start in 2401 with no starting ships.
This is standard practice for most remapped games.

This is because the HW were moved. When they are moved around they visually appear to be in the new spot but not all functions of the game are updated until a turn is generated. This means that the starting ships are scanning space away from the orbit of their moved home world. It also means that during 2400, dumping the universe definition to a text file will report the original star locations. Both of these can give away the locations of your home worlds, and otherwise impart an unfair advantage to some players ala knowledge of a green world 143ly from home or that wormhole that is only 77ly away.

Before anyone whinges that somebody else could have done it better, they are not here and they didn't volunteer to help you. XyliGUN has been mia for months, and never published the tool previously mentioned.

I will ask Ron for a game forum once he has posted the game.
