Re: PBW Game idea
I could use the balance mod to create the map. That way there are lot's of choice planets to use for remote mining.
I would not mind allowing you to recolonize glassed homeworlds. I'm not sure the guy who glassed it would give you the chance though.  On the other hand I toyed with the idea of making it a mod game and removing colony tech, allowing you to fleet with bases, making remote mining not reduce planet value, and making the space yard component smaller, so you can get those remote bases setup sooner.
Stellar manip would be on, so you could use warp openers.
Creating a ringworld to use for remote mining? I'm not sure it's the most efficent way to generate resources, but if you can pull it off I'd allow it. And tip my hat to you.

Re: PBW Game idea
48 hour turns would be the absolute maximum I'd want if I were playing in it. I prefer 24 personally, but will set it up for 48.

Re: PBW Game idea
I thought you could only remote mine moons. Not planets. If that is so, then the Balance mod planets would do no good. If not, then I guess I've never remote mined a planet (LOL)...just moons.

Re: PBW Game idea
You can remote mine a planet, just not if it has a colony on it.

Re: PBW Game idea
Do I have to have a mod installed to play it?
<ducks>
If not, then count me in.

Re: PBW Game idea
I've joined. I love these non standard games.
Only question so far is how many racial points are we using? Any number is fine with me.
