We were playing w/all the expansions IIRC. Unless you can join an expanded game without said expansions... Sorry I had to drop out early guys :( There was a bit of moving that needed done and it took me by suprise. BTW, was the AI Hiver able to take a colony from the orange whales? :P

After my dinner I came back on to see if it was still going which I it wasn't. Logged into vent server saw gudo on but afk. I know I saved the game before I left anyways so we have something go off of. If you guys want to continue it we can.

I wouldn't put too much stock in dreadnaughts. Yes they're big and bad, but I would rather have a shielded cruiser fleet with superior weaponry than a smaller bunch of mid tier weapon dreads. I don't usually go dread until well, well into the AM era.
I do the opposite and push for early dreads. dreadnaughts don't have the on paper firepower of cruisers, but they have great survivability, the right of way in movement, and concentration of what firepower they do have. Shields on cruisers I don't find so useful, I'd rather have an assault or battle bridge command, though absorbers are awesome on everything.

I might be able to fix my PC soonish (laptop is incapable of handling SotS) but I'd still be down for another game in the near future.

I guess some options could be:
  • Tighter map
    Max out starting Tech
    Have a few starting colonies
    More cash to start with
    Economic efficiency increased
    Research efficiency increased

I think we should also have timed turns. Just in case someone forgets to hit the button :P
