Seems I should check out the Furball games...

Anyone who has played a Puke's Furball game?
Is it fun?

Interesting concept there, One system, 20 players. (I think a system like this would be too over packed with planets.) But how about a one sys/per/player game. Each player is given their own system and the only way to expand is to go to war. (or make aliences, or share space with a species that has a different home planet type than you, etc) It would also be nice if the warp-point connections could be random.

hmmm, interesting thought. Nuf said.

Cheers!

Nah, there are what? 144 sectors per system.
Make 40 planetary sectors with 5 planets on each, 200 planets and 104 empty sectors to fill with storms and suns and asteroids and empty space...
10 players, 20 secors with 4 planets and 20 sectors with single planets, etc etc..

Nope, no mods.

What will be important are aggression, defensivness and construction rate, I'd guess. All else will propably not have time to play any major significance.

One of the Furballs did something like this, too. There was one system per player, each system had a one-way warp-point into a central system (that had the Movement-towards-center ability of 12). The central system then had one-way warp points back to all the homesystems.

It was mayhem.
