Been putting in overtime this week, so let's just use the ones we've got for this one. With only 11 players it won't last that long anyway.

Yes, kill Jamski already!

Proposed rule tweaks.

1. You start with 22 BP on the prebuild instead of 32.
2. Think this is the same but start with 1 base.
3. Start with one shield, one spy, and two anti-spies.

I want to see some early action!

[Theben]

How are those changes going to bring about early action??

[Spaced Cowboy]

Less of a temptation to just build bases, easier to build ships and take bases.

[GeoModder]

Looks like you want to see battles with smaller ships.

I like Cowboyrules.

The 22 number is extremely interesting. I like changing around the number of BPs to start. It makes things more interesting.

[Jamski]

They'll KYLLE early action. No one will have BPs to spare on ships, building will be the only policy, you'll not want to attack, you'll know everyone has a sheild.

[Spaced Cowboy]

so all the shields will be used on T1?

[:) Smiley]

Shields at the beginning aint good for early action.

The lack of shields means that anyone who attacks turn 1 is guaranteed to not have any shields turn 2, while possibly having more bases and fewer ships. This invites multiple battles at one place.

If you want early action, prohibit base building on turn 1.

[GeoModder]

There's something you oversee, Smiley: shields can be made in the preturn, so an attacker on turn one can use that premade one on turn 2.

[Jamski]

Ok, allow attacks on turn 1 (i.e. no preturn)

[GeoModder]

My spy, where is my spy!

[Spaced Cowboy]

Yes, attacking on T1, aka, no prebuild turn is a good idea. Continue to discuss the tweaks.

[GeoModder]

So 1 shield, 1 spy, 2 anti-spies and 1 base + 22 BP's is what we got and we have to get in the fray at once?

Definitely not builder-friendly!
