I'd use FQM, other than that, probably not. I have a weakness for DevNull but I'd probably go stock just to get as many happy players as possible

This one sounds like fun... reminds me of Master of Orion (Machine entities = Guardian of Orion )

Mods? Yes please! Heck, let's make a special mod for this game based on some other mod so the Machine Entities can take advantage of the new component/hull research and intel generation capabilities that will be in the patch!

yeah, ok. Knock yourself out. I'm not a modder...yet at least...but I am more than happy to entertain the possibility of using a mod for this game...

edit: which one do you suggest?

thanks,

how do you entertain a possibility? i mean, what music does it like? how about food? what does a possibility eat? seating? what does it sit on? how about conversation? what are you going to talk about? what sort of guests should you have? these are *important questions!

*and if you'll buy that, i've got this great deal on beachfront arizona property.

for a 20 player game I'd agree that no mod is the best way to fill the slots.

At all? How are you supposed to get to the sphereworld's star? Events? Ruins? See my sig?

I cannot play any more frequently than every 72 hours. But I can try to play the first ten or twenty turns every 36 or so hours, to get the game up and running faster. No guarantees I'll make every turn under those conditions, but most of them.

That being said, it sounds like fun. Put my name on the very end of the list because my job takes up a lot of my time now, so my role-playing would have to be limited.

I guess he means the sphereworld (The ancient that we're supposed to colonize) will be connected to the other systems by ordinary warp points.
