Hey folks, in accordance with the set up we voted on here
http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php/topic,6806.0.html and because I am bored, I've decided to kick off sign-ups for a new community game.
Rules:Team members: minimum 2 per faction, no maximum as long as you can get your orders in by the due date.
N
umber of factions: 4 Maximum, this is probably the most we can realistically hope for my computer to handle reliably.
Starting system: Sol, but each faction can have it's own pre-terraformed planet/moon to start on, and will.
Who gets what?: First come fist serve, by order of post
NPRs?: No, however the two easier spoilers will be on I think. And I have some ideas for other challenges if you guys can't make trouble for yourselves.
Starting resources: 300million pop, 12k RP, 2 Shipyards - one civilian with 2 slips 20k tons, one military with 2 slips 3k tons. 15 Research Facilities, default amount of other facilities and build points for ships/pdcs
These starting values can be customized as you prefer, want to reduce your mines and increase your factories? We can do that, want a bigger shipyard? Cut some other installations.
Misc: In the interest of saving my computer, I will be limiting civilian shipbuilding, no more than 4 of any type (Frieghter or colony) Any your civs build after that will either be deleted or an older ship will be removed if the new one is bigger. Civ fuel harvesters will not be subject to this limit as they kind of just sit there anyway.
Each faction will be provided with enough listening posts to cover the entire planetary system, this should avoid the usual starts and stops when ships come in and out of range, I know it reduced your ability to hide but oh well, want to hide something? Put it out of the system.
Sign ups start now and will end next week or when we have 4 factions, any additional rules you want to add or do you hate some of mine? Talk about it here.
