I'm interested in participating in the TCS game. Here are my three choices
for home planet, in order of preference:
Amondiage
Neubayern
Serendip Belt
Some questions and comments:
I assume we will be using statistical combat resolution. Even this could be
lots of work for the referee--for this reason, as well as the time lag
mentioned before, perhaps one turn every other day might be better?
Will unclaimed planets with Class B ports have navies for self defence?
Can players purchase/capture/conquer ships from a higher tech level than what
they started with? This will undoubtably be of great concern for New Home.
I would prefer not to have any restrictions on classes of ships or over-
simplification of combat system. This would detract too much from ship design
and tactical decisions.
To resolve combat in one round of messages, everyone should give standing
orders for their fleets that Steve could use to resolve what would happen in
battle. For instance, when to retreat, what weapons to use on what type of
target, etc. New orders would be transmitted by courier ship, thus encouraging
players to get it right the first time!
