FYI, the battle has started and hopefully wraps up by Friday. Everyone wish Mark luck...or the opposite if that suits you better.

Ok, what about the Gorn/Romulan test battle now?

I promise to wrap up the setup for those this weekend...sorry

[stitch626]

Good luck Mark!

[Deepcrush]

Good luck Mark, I always knew the cardis couldn't play nice forever.

BTW, new battle rule. No more mixed sub-groups. Frankly it just does not make sense to do it as it just slows fast ships down so I am just eliminating it. So this effectively limits a fleet to 16 types.

[stitch626]

Cool, thats how I set mine up anyway... I think.

[BigJKU316]

Spreadsheets out...on a Monday of all things.

Again, 1000 apologies for the slowness of the past month of so. Summers are a bit crazy in my field, especially post tax season when everyone is looking for financing. We should be go to go now.

Just waiting on Staplic to send me the right spreadsheet. Intel and turn reports tonight/tomorrow. Gonna be a fun stretch...well for most of the players that is.

[Lt. Staplic]

Sorry about that, it's off

Gonna be a fun stretch...

Why does that scare me?

[BigJKU316]

I think we will be adding another player (reliant). Two options on what to do here.

1. Give him one of the current NPC's and likely beef them up enough to make them standup against the rest to a fair degree.

2. Create an all new race on some edge of the map with its own territory. If we do that I am open to ideas on what sort of race is needed and where on the map they make the most sense. I have my own ideas but will wait to see what I hear.

[Deepcrush]

Creating new races is going to cause issues later. Just use one of the NPCs.

It really won't be that different as any NPC will have to be beefed up to really play any role in things.

[Lt. Staplic]

I'm good with either, but I think creating a new Race will be easier than justifying one of these little powers super-sizing in power overnight

Gonna be a fun stretch...

Why does that scare me?

My question is, why does that scare me:

...well for most of the players that is.

And I think a new alien race might work better. And certainly add some spice to the game.

[stitch626]

I don't mind another race. We could design it all together, backstory and all.

For location, most sensible would be for a current race who is exploring outside their territory to find them. IU of course. Or, they could be the explorers and be anywhere.

I wouldn't mind some new neighbors.

[Nickswitz]

I could take some neighbors. They may be fun.
