Thanks for the game, Glyn. Had me worried several times! And thanks for the regular and fast turn times.

It would be interesting to hear different takes on the changes one would make in playing a balance map. Personally speaking, I know it has cut out a lot of cursing at my house (when you go through the 2nd nebula only to find a 3rd...you get my meaning) .

As to Geo's v2.0, I'll have to go back and read it to see the difference between ice/rock and gas. This version had a nice randomness to it that made me cross my fingers each time I moved to a new system yet NOT presenting me with black holes and such things. I think it's a good improvement.
