Seems like good additions to me.
And as NGC3 stops now we might recruit some of those players for this game!

Sounds interesting a central system that is only accessible via a random ship movement, random wormhole opening or wormhole technology.

One additional idea: I have been told by a player in one of my games that a 52 hour turnaround seems like just the right time to keep a game going fast but also minimize requests for delays, since it allows someone who works a 9-5 job to get a turn in even in the worst case scenario where the turn is processed right in the middle of the night and they have no chance to get to it the next evening. They'd still, in that case, have a few hours to get a turn in. Sounds like it's about right to me.

I didn't get to doing the final test on the map Last night, I hope to tonight. Then I'll set up and post the game announcement. I'll letcha all know...

thanks,

Alarik

Oh, I'm also gonna increase the game time limit to 50 years. It just rolls of the tongue better than 45. And, that is plenty of time for the players to get nasty, no?

thanks,

Alarik
