Re: PBW \"newbie game\"
 

I'm trying to role-play somewhat and I don't really want to ensalve them, although I fear that conflict will be inevitable.

Check the game forum, I'm doing a little role-playing there...

Heh, my starting position (and the surronding areas) play perfectly to my RP and my race.. now only if I could find planets worth a damn http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

I Kind of have to laugh. You are finding planets at all? I'm not so lucky as you Phoenix-D.

Re: PBW \"newbie game\"
 

I'm doing OK. Since my score has been on 1st place for a couple of turns now, I can maybe divulge some classified empire info. So far I have 6 planets, 3 of them breathable. Only one way into my systems. Have found no other species yet. Am kinda worried that on this map, each human player started in one corner and everything links up through one or two central systems where we'll have a huge war in 30 or 40 turns.. then it comes down to skillful diplomacy, getting an ally to crush the other two and then slug it out with former ally for final domination of galaxy.

Hmm...anyone interested in being my ally so we can rid the galaxy of all others so we can give each other our "undivided" attention ? :-) Email me...

PS I am glad we got in 9 (!) turns today, sorry I couldnt always guarantee my 30 minute turnaround promise, had to watch a movie with girlfriend, and spent over an hour on another PBW game turn.

You have THREE breathables?!

I've found one in the entire map I've explored! And it's way the heck out there, to boot.

Guess I picked the wrong atmosphere for this race..

EDIT: Oh, and to add insult to injury: I have 3 breathable huge GAS GIANTS nearby. I can't use them, don't have the tech yet. Doh.

Crap...It sounds like you're both off to a decent start...this could mean trouble for the peaceloving Terran Federation...I'm glad I'm not the only one up at this time...

And I thought *I* was doing bad- you're behind the neutrals! Bad start?

Re: PBW \"newbie game\"
 

I don't know what it is - I have 5 planets and several ships. Oh well, maybe things will get better...I don't think I'm that far behind.

Re: PBW \"newbie game\"
 

Well, let me tell you some more. All the systems I found so far are in one straight line connected. (hope none of you are ancient race else you'll know where I am).
I colonised all there was in my home system and the next one. Then I get 2 empty systems, then a juicy one with 3 more breathable planets. So I'm constructing a deep-space colonisation fleet to go grab that system. Problems: it will take me 6 turns to get there. And I can't afford the maintenance on the fleet, all my planets are crap for minerals. Plus there's 2 more wormholes (unexplored) leading to the juicy system...so I hope none of you beats me to it. Just in case I am delaying my fleet send-off one turn so I can arm them to their teeth http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif
