When I set a start point, I usually just pick a spot near the center. I figure it's no big concern.

And remember, set specific start points (1 and 3 on one side and 2 and 4 on the other).

As to number of systems, I've never counted. I just noticed that there was a fairly big difference in the size of maps generated by "medium spiral". That's why I said pick one of the larger ones.

Allrighty Grudge match of doom contestants...
I will (attempt to)start you of tonight when I get home from Uni.

Good luck, and may the most cunning, underhand and sneaky team win!

Thanks, looks great.

I'll send the money we agreed on for the extra breathables to the usual account

Thanks, Joachim, for the sad, sad, placement...I guess giving you that game wasn't good enough sucking up

Looks like KOTH will take a while for me to get an opponent (and Anklebiters seems to only run once a week), so looking for another game to fill the void.

I call this challenge, "Everything and Nothing":

ZERO Racial points (the "Nothing")
FULL tech (the "Everything")

No warp openers or closers
No Intel
No Ancient trait
No Religious trait
1 GOOD starting planet
Medium spiral map
48-hour turns

Looking for a challenger who has a rating within a hundred of me (or near that) and can manage a good turn rate *AND* a person to host the game.

I might almost, but not quite, be tempted. If nobody else steps in, I should be able to play in this challenge, starting from Wednesday. You should not expect me to achieve the same pace of play as in our KOTH game however; two turns per day early on will be the best I can manage (at least in my "working" week; if I get lucky, I will only go to school four or even three days a week).
