I have almost everything I need from everyone and I don't see a reason why we can't start tomorrow so that is the plan.

Today's update:

Everyone has at least started their ship classes. One faction still needs personalities and I will get those later today.

Due to my fiance's birthday this weekend and the plans we have for it starting tomorrow we will probably not be starting before Monday.

The factions are as follows

Erik has Mars and his people were a part of the North American Federation.

Boggo has Prometheus (a moon of Saturn) and his people are from the Pacific Federation

Panoption has settled Cheron for Mother Russia.

Ektoras has taken Europa for the Middle Kingdom

Ok here is where we stand at the moment

We have four people signed up. All four have their starting technology. Three of them have their personalities, government types, and racial characteristics while the fourth is being worked on. One of them has given me their starting ship classes. Once the other three get their ship classes in I will write up the background and we can get started soon after. If anyone needs any help with any stage please let me know I will be more than happy to help. Right now we are on track for starting sometime on Wednesday.

For everyone who knows where they are starting and their personalities and technologies, can you send me your starting ship class designs and Defense Installation designs? I will get starting installations, starting treasury, and starting ship fund to everyone as soon as I get ship designs.

Just FYI. Page 90 (book page, not PDF page), Troop tech II is not required for Armor units. That is a leftover from a previous edit. All troop types are available at Troop Tech I. Troop Tech II provides +1 Defense.

I didn't make it clear but I would like those answers PMed to me.

Earth

Io
Europa
Ganymede
Callisto
Himalia
Elara
Ananke
Tethys
Dione
Titan
Iapetus
Calypso

And the list of nations you can pick from are as follows

While I will continue to accept new players through tomorrow (Tuesday night) I would like to get the following information from the people who have currently signed up.

Firstly I would like a list of the top three places you would like to claim as your homeworld, the choices will be in a list in the following post.

Secondly I would like a top three list of nations you wish your new nation is from, choices will again be the following post. This is to give both a flavor to names and to give me an idea of how to set up the history which will deviate from canon in the late 2100s or early 2200s.

Thirdly I would like you to look at Chapters  30, 31 and 33 of the rule book, they are the chapters on Campaigns, Race Generation, and Research. In chapter 31 I would like you to look over page 70, I will do the rest of the race generation. Page 70 deals with creating government and tells you how many Research Points you start off with. If you do not claim Earth I would like you to set up a government and pick your starting 5,000 Research points.

For the new players I recommend putting 3,150 of your points into the following techs; Physics I, Construction I, Construction II, Electronics I, Fission I, FTL I, Engine Tech I, Metallurgy, Troop Tech I, and Sensor I. With those you will be set up decently although you will not have combat capable ships.

The start up will take awhile but after that only battles and refits to ships should take very long. I will be creating all the systems but I would like the players to create their ship types. I can do the battles by myself or the players can send me orders for that, I will leave it up to the players to decide.
