Cool.

and apparently the moon has pimples, hm. never knew that

I like the new style, just remember not to make color have meaning... or ask me if I can see the colors.

Not to mention that http://www.spacefleetomega.com is apparently "offline"

ooh that's very corporate of you, next thing you know we'll be talking about long term goals and enterprise vision.

I see. I think it can help for sure, as long as it doesn't become the defacto and keep the new stuff from coming out of the player community. a fair share of what makes us cool is the open-ness of the various "systems".  I do realise tho, that some people want a pre-set background they can fit into rather than complete openness which they then have to form for themselves.

So whaddya have in mind?

hey, Hi backatcha!

there hasn't been much discussion that I can remember about house rules, not because we don't encourage that here, but because, I think, Starmada can handle pretty much any idea you have.

But if you make your own ships, be sure and stick them in the Bourbaki basin, I know I personally troll through there avery time I go to a convention and I usually find all I need to run a good con game (er...) there.

as far as the shipbuilder goes, all I can say is that there are "plans in the works"(tm)...

There exists a Starmada:AE Mod for Vassal IIRC.

Tough learning curve, but tons of people use Vassal, I just couldn't get it to work.

I completely agree, but I think the point is that we would mash the various backgrounds together somehow?

or was it to  come up with a completely new background?

I need more info!

by default background, how does that work with our various non-starmada games?

I can see a tie in with ares and For the Masses, Defiance and Starmada, but I'm having a hard time putting Powersled Circuit and Aces at Dawn "with" anything in particular?

But, I'm all for a default mj12 universe, even if it starts with just Starmada.

GO booooyyy!!!!

or a different and more suitable word of encouragement, like

I am behind you 100%, Sr. Kast!
