I guess you haven't counted me in

I have. Updated player list:

Players - beginners, rusty old timers:
Entropicurity
talkingbologna
theene
Mijgo (Maybe)

Players - experienced:
vmanuel
ccmaster
Altruist
BackBlast

Quote:

how do you handicap the tank without making it ridiculous?

No easy answer there. At this point my goal is not to get the perfect game setup, but get a reasonable game setup so that the new players can play.

Quote:

75 Points are not enoth at least we should go for 150.

Also all experts should take weapon and kon expensive

150 might be better. I think forcing weapons expensive might be too much. If the new players are really new and haven't been testbedding and reading all the good articles, then forcing the experienced players to have W expensive might be fair. But against a new player who has prepared, it is likely too much.

So lets just go with 150 points to defenses to the experienced players.

Quote:

I am no expert but good enough to bring (very fast) havoc and pain into a beginner universe

That is just what a beginner needs Twisted Evil

Ok, final rules:

Experienced players take 150 points set to defenses.

Unvierse will be Medium normal

Game settings are as follows:

- Distant players position
- AccBBS
- random events on

Standard cheat disclaimer, which means that the following cheats are allowed:

- chaff
- split fleet dodge
- merge fleets after gating
- Mine damage dodge

Turns would be MTWTF until 2430 or someone requests a slow down. From there they would be MWF.

We are adopting most of the Altruist rule set.

And to concentrate on the game mechanics and not on diplomacy:
* Alliance of 2 players, no more, no less can win the game (last alliance standing or unanimous vote of remaining players)
* only tech exchange with ally
* only ally set to friend, all other set to enemy
* all battle orders must be set at "attack who = enemies"

PRT restrictions:
* experienced may not play CA, JoaT (additionally ccmaster may not play HE, Altruist not IT)

and adding an AR rule:

disallow target SB for (50?) years, and allow AR build (6?) cheap colonizers

The last question I have is is Mijgo playing?
