Since the beginner match and Get the Planet, I haven't been able to treat the computer seriously.

And that's how it should be!

A computer program can surely shoot faster, aim better, calculate faster... but Stars is a true strat & tact game, starting with the race design, and humans are much better (and meaner) with this and although the Stars-"AI" is really weak, I can't believe that even with a much better AI this would change.

Nevertheless I'd love to see the competition between Humans and a modern approach to AI-design and -development like it was invented and used for GO and proofed capable to beat the best players on Earth.
Heck, that WOULD bring back some life into this forums!

To know that a few things you did wrong wrecked you! I can't wait to face people, again.

And this attitude, of course, is also the best what can be expected as a result from a beginner game.

Nevertheless the last "beginner"-game was surely too fast and although I had quite fun playing in it, I'd (again) strongly recommend not to mix experienced players with beginners.

As a suggestion to find more beginners, I'd suggest that
# the beginners might also invite friends of them who might be interested
# to send an invitation via the old Stars news list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/rec.games.computer.s tars
While it is nowadays filled with mainly spam it is surprising how many old playes are still suscribed to it and rusty oldtimers usually fit quite well into a game described as beginner - lower intermediate - rusty oldtimers. If one writes the game description and gives it a header in a way that it is easily and obviously to distinguish rom spam... it does get read.
# Additionally I could offer to send also an invitation to the players of the old Fledgling Admirals games... most of them who sticked to Stars are well beyond anything you would call beginner - intermediate but they might have friends...

But those are just suggestions and up to the Host.
