New PBW Game: The Air That We Breath, Take 2

[Grandpa Kim]

Tired of empires with hundreds of planets, thousands of ships, tens of thousands of units? The micromanagement just plain getting old? Then this may be just what you're looking for.

This is a full fledged game but on a smaller scale. All empires will be oxygen/rock and you won't be able to colonize anything else! Competition for those few available planets will be fierce, but instead of fleets of 300 dreads, you will see something more like 20 LCs per fleet.

Research development will be slow but playing your turns will be quick... and hopefully turn turnover, too.

All techs except intel will be available, so you may eventually be able to create your own planets. Till then you must struggle along with very little of anything, just like all your opponents. Low level tactics will be the name of the game.
