cheating could be equalized by having everyone examine the map carefully first.

Yes, but that still makes the game much less fun, as it removes one of the 4 Xs...

I am leaning toward a random map. At least it will give everyone an equal chance and such. Right now we have 8 of 10 players so Narf if your going to play, you'd better hurry and pick one of the Last two open races.

not playing, just commenting.

Atrocities, All I really care about is playing SE4 Star Trek Mod, PBW. I could go with neither UserX map or a random map. I perfer to leave the game set up decisions solely with you alone.

How about a random map and then some one not playing can equal out the homeworld placements....

For fairness ofcourse

i'd perfer a random map too...

Hmmm.... well that will teach me to start a game without checking shrapnel first!(tried starting a similar game with UserX's map on PBW) I guess I might as well get in with the 8472

But you don't see what's in each system until you enter it?

I think my map is pretty cool but there are some minor disadvatages for some species, primarly the Ferengi and maybe the Breen as I've tried to make the map and species placement close to the real thing. Also the Dominion will have to get through whoever controls Bajor (likely the Cardassions) to engage all other species and the Borg are place far enough out of the way that by the time they enter the core systems, the major powers have a chance against them.

I'm easy either way but it will be a huge disadvatage for whoever start next to the Borg!

Just really looking forward to playing against other people!

Also, Atrocities, I was playing a short game yesterday as the Klingons and noticed that everytime I won a battle in a system I controled, I got a message saying something to the effect that my "population is growing UNHAPPY due to the recent victories." For the sake of the Klingon player, we might want to investigate further
