Pax Brittania has been set up so I can play a some epic space battles. I've done the 'Duranium crash' and struggled through some pretty difficult times in previous games. This time I'm all about the combat
For this game, star swarm and precursors are enabled, Invaders are turned off and NPR percentage set to zero. I set up my primary race and then created an opposing empire that will eventually come into contact with the British. From a writing perspective, I've decided my previous theme of changes to history causing alternate realities will be in the background with my characters who survived the destruction of their own realities popping up in the fiction from time to time.
The game started 1 Jan 1972, with the British already possessing reasonably good tech in several areas such as propulsion, the notable exception is jump point theory, this has been recently discovered with only 1 jump capable ship in the RN at game start.
