I actually don't mind losing a system (turn it into a 5 sided pentagon)... or is it possible to reduce a world to an outpost with say 5 points?

I can also just switch either back to my original six stars, or just three of my original six.

Didn't take long for an AI to go skynet on us. Though i feel for those choosing to play small empires there should be some penalty to offset the easier defence caused by having your fleet concentrated. Possibly a reduction overral fleet and industrial outputs to represent the limits of so small a territory.

Frankly, I took one system because I want my industry to actually be on par with what a stripmining AI can do.

From a game perspective Nitram the fact you'll have all your fleet in one system means that basically you're invincible as no one is going to commit the kind of forces it'd take to capture Draelon. From the story perspective, i dunno could work to have it be a fortress of cold calculating and unfeeling evil which all who stand for freedom must rally and burn to the ground at some point.

I'm signifigantly more cuddly than my previous AI.

But then again, you can't hug with fusion arms.

The TDI is all about chillaxin'.

It's just that some people aren't very chill.

So they may have to slap a bitch.

Not personally, though. That sounds like labor.

That's what the staff is for.

My split empire was a large enough disadvantage before the map re-organization; having to cross 4 systems to make contact was just too much for my limited testicular fortitude.

I wish you hadn't moved yourself there, Thirdfain. I'd been planning an expansion in that direction.

I'm still rather unclear how we are going to expand much in a map that's relatively crowded at the core.

Updated my OOB with detailed planetary holdings. It sucks to be the original colonists of the Stonefall, Ptolemy, and Killian systems. That is all. Especially Stonefall and Ptolemy. Killian at least had a planet. Well, Stonefall sorta did. Then didn't. Then did again.

Expand through your neighbor, son. STGODs get stale if nobody picks a fight.

Oh, no question that expanding requires warring. But it's an expensive affair, and I would rather ensure I have a fair bit of superiority over my neighbour before going into one.

I hate to lose too. I typically like to bring the biggest hammer to the table.

Oh, you can't beam transmissions through the nodes? It's got to be by courier? 'Kay, I'll fix that.

Can we get a map put up in the OoB? Just to make it easier for reference purposes?

Guys, the map is a mess.This is because of how the map has been edited. I'm going to redo it.

No arguement here all the revisions and occasional erasures have taken their toll and Unity station seems to have uh melted. If you want to take the time then go for it Beowulf.

Naah, that's just a map reflection of the fact that some nincompoop constructed the station out of wax and put it in a highly elliptical orbit. Silly cow.
