It's really not confusing at all. But anyway, everyone seems to get the hang of it really quick. All calculations are done my me, so this system is the tip of a 'big iceberg'.

This game looks fun.

I have some questions. Must you go by those races, can't you come up with another race type?

and dito with everything else.

You can create your own type of physiology if you want, say like an amoeba species, gaseous creatures, etc that aren't in the list. However, they have to be worked into the game to ensure that they aren't too powerful. There have been a couple of players who have done that.

Pm me the idea for your alien species, then we'll work from there. Try to make sure that the race's strength is balanced by a weakness.

Is there a deadline for the next turn?

Depending on what happens with the two new players (how soon they respond to their game start emails/pms), the deadline might be wednesday, 12am GMT. I've already had empire send its turn two orders early, so feel free to do the same if you'd like.

I've noticed a trade deal has been struck between two empires though only side has payed for it. To get a trade deal, both have to pay the price, not one. And that counts as one deal. If the other player does not contribute the costs, I will have to cancel the deal next turn. So far, the only trade route that is official (rules-wise) is between the Free Traders and the Ross 154 Alliance.

Queeaqueg and Xar, I will need your turn one orders by tomorrow night. It looks likely turn two will be processed midweek, so you will get to submit again soon.

How much does it cost to open a trade route?

Post by **Atrus** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 7:46 pm

Ten total. Five CC's for each race.

Post by **Orion** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 4:12 pm

That's kind of expensive.

Not really, when you consider you'll be making money off it every year. Even if a trade deal only nets +1 CCs per year, it won't take that long to be turning a profit.

Delay in processing - still waiting for one player to submit his turn one orders.

Post by **Loredoctor** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 8:19 am

Okay.

All players have twenty-four hours to submit turn two orders! I can extend that to forty eight hours if the player is too busy or other extentuating circumstances occur.
