PBW idea "Rules of Engagement",is there enough interest?

See page 2 as explanation of changed Topic!
I'm thinking of starting a new PBW game:
Master of orion

It will be a very large universe, 20 players. one of is the Host (me ) who plays as the Orions.
The Orions will be in a secret starsystem, no omnipotent view is allowed.
The orions never colonize any other system.
They are mucho powerful (starts with sphereworld etc), are tweaked at fighting. Have max tech at start (I found a way to do this within the rules).

All other players start with low tech, high cost, no tech trading.

You can win the game by eliminating all other players or by putting a colony on Orion prime (I guess eliminating all other will be easier).
Alliance victoris will be allowed.

You can at any time issue a challenge to the orions through the game forum.
You set the number of ships, equal for you and the orions.
A wormhole will be opened from the system you designate were you have your ships, to the Arena system were the Orions will be waiting.
if you win the challange you get a free tech for each ship you destroyed or instead of one of the tech, the location of the Orion system.

Ofcourse it's a manufactured map and I as orions will have omnipotent view.

Propably not suited for extreme newbies but if you've started in a couple of PBW games or played simultaneous a t home it will be alright.

That game would be a bit of an egokick for me !!

(I know it's a bad time due to recent Real World events , but the game wont start this week. )
