Turn sent. I'm out of town for the 3-day weekend, back Monday evening. Enjoy!

I found a pirate cruiser

So, I accidentally most of my money when I didn't notice which button I was clicking on.  At least I'm sure I'll be using all this extra Trace somewhere in the future.

Turn sent.  Now we're getting some speed.

I too have sent forth the turn.  I do not have auspicious news this turn.

Turn sent. Boring, cookie-cutter planets all around me.

What turn are you guys on? I think you might have passed us.

[Aqizzar]

Nah, I just didn't post that I finished my turn when I sent it to RedKing last night.

It might be worthwhile for Palazzo to update the thread title every time the save goes around, if that's not too huge a pain in the ass.

Actually, I've been doing that each time the turn got to me, only I've been updating the galactic date only, which quite frankly is not that easy to notice and remember. On top of that, I forgot to do it last turn.
I've added the turn number now, counting the turn when we did nothing as 0th.

Also, I've been thinking of ways to inject more politics, roleplay and maybe eventually drama into the game. This might come in a form of additional house rules, or an in-game charter. I'll post it once I get a clearer vision of what it should be all about.
The gist of it is that we'd pretend there's an actual senate(that's basically us) that needs to be presented with claims to planets, and we vote whether any house's claims are accepted(land granted) or not. This might lead to illegal colonisation, sanctioning of the use of Fleet to bomb the shit out of offenders, and give some use for the Eye - checking on the houses whether they abide by the rules, and possibly allow bribing the controller to say that it is/isn't so.
The senate could also vote for or against any galaxy-wide law proposed by any of the houses during the game.
It'd probably come into effect with turn 9(so a decade before the elections).

Consider this proposition, whether you'd agree with that or not, or if you would like to add something to spice the game up yourself.


Oh, and turn sent.

I find it hard to inject drama/politics without legitimate threads of full scale invasions. Either the fleet annihilate someone early on without any way to stop it, or we have to wait until we can at least produce freighters to pitch significant battles elsewhere.

Also, one thing about "legislating" territory is the implied threat of all the other houses going after you. If everyone says such and such planet belongs to so and so, then I'm going to probably avoid going after it. If no one is recognizing his claim, then it's every man for himself and probably grounds for war.
