I have got an answer from MM regarding catastrophic events and homeworlds:

In both (sim and turn-based) a players' HW (or their first HW) is immune from catastrophic events. It was too devastating to have the HW obliterated by an event. The immunity has not been in the early Versions of SEIV.

This is good news

Well, I can YES this for all of my longterm simultaneous games, but not for turn-based (this seems to be a *cough* bug *cough* in turn-based). Another strong reason to play simultaneous.

JLS: FQM with the AIC MOD. I use a cut/paste of FQM lite and then cut out the asteroid heavy quadrants. How would I get that quadrant file to you for a peek at what I did?

[JLS]

GREAT, Thanks Pathfinnder...

I suggest reconstructing the other quadrant types (cluster, spiral, grid, etc.) from the Mid-life No Ast Belt quadrants.

[JLS]

It will be so

Thanks Fyron

Thanks for the QuadrantTypes file.

However, you did not send the AIC/FQM compatible StellarAbilityTypes, SystemTypes file. If they are not complete that is ok, I can get to it.

The "special" quadrants like Newborn, Old, Ancient, Star Heavy, etc. are trickier to reconsruct, so I suggest just copying them from FQM and doing some find-replaces to change their "standard # AS I" systems to the "no ast belt" Versions.

Didn't use those from FQM...for better or worse...used the "stock" AIC files...

me learning as I go with regards to these files.
