A recent suggestion I heard though on the idea of "Salvaging" another game I happened to be playing.. Seemed like it could have some real merit with this stuff, and probably make this a viable game concept.

My adaption of idea.
A) Require all races to have the ARM LRT, transform "Potato Bugs" into Deathstars (or something else if you guys want). These 2 ships are your "Hero" ships, lose one and you MUST join sides with the race who slew one of your Heros, him and all his allies. Lose 2 and your MUST forfeit your race. (You lose).
I can fabricate these to be <300kt so eventually races will be capable of scuttling them about dispite their lack of engines. (of course J won't let me slap engines on it, as I've pointed out too much.)
B) I ban HEs and transform the Colony ships into Heros. Though rule set would have to be adjusted to B1) lose it and you die, or B2) lose it and your slave race to whom ever killed it, but kill it your self and you die.
As an added possible option I could publish a rather bland starmap showing where galactic inhabitants are spacially. Consider it like the SETI program, except it's ACTUALLY picked up radio signals from the other home worlds on the nameless starmap.
Course for that I probably shouldn't play, I guess. If then I'd love to be allowed to observe everyone. Might even be more fun for me. Smile

Comments? Thoughts? Anyone up to try Option A? or B? or do you have an idea for an option C? (Other special ships are not impossible of course. Like as support or utility.)

Rule 1: "Pillage, THEN burn!"
