Hi Neil,

I like the idea of sharing information to all players concerning the top players pulling away from the pack, but I'd like to make some comments for you to consider.

I'm okay with disclosing:

1) # of planets, but not the locations of any of those planets.
2) # of Starbases, but not the locations of the starbases.
3) # of warships, but not the location, the type, the design, how much fuel they have, how much damage it sustained etc.
4) # of tech levels, but not the exact tech levels of a particular field.
5) # of resources, but not which planets are strongest or weakest.
6) Score

Basically, any information the 'public player scores' normally provides is okay with me. When giving out information, the rule of thumb should be 'less is more'. Be careful not to spoil a player's surprise attack that may have taken more than a decade to plan when giving out information. Think twice before disclosing tactical or strategic information about players, as it could potentially ruin a game. Thanks.
