But on the topic of balance...I thought I did pretty well in system development, but from the way you and Habbaku progressed, it looks like industrious racial attributes is king.

I can't take a peek at your systems the way I can PRC's, but I hope you haven't made the mistake he has.  He doesn't seem to understand that the same system can have multiple colonizable planets...

Of course I fully realize that.  Because I have the Vass in that game I don't want to waste low population turns on high / low gravity / toxic worlds.

Presumably, though, you're at high population levels now.  Wouldn't it make sense to build a new colony on, say, Equitar III?  Or any of the others that can support 4 population?  Especially since there are techs that unlock higher population levels on all planets.  And gravity generators that fix gravity.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Of course, but that comes at the cost of say, building fleets as you suggest earlier in the thread.  Hard choices.

That is what I like about this game, it doesn't just let you do anything you want, you have to make choices.

Like I chose to not invest heavily in counter-espionage. That may have been unwise.

I just noticed that, if you remove Liao, our map/colors are almost a mirror image of the Inner Sphere.  :P

I thought Berkut and I did remove Liao.   :hmm:

Hehe.

The new game appears to be setup as a team game - was that intentional?

If it matters, I was drunk when I created it.  :P

I will never be able to stab anyone in the back.   :(

Think positive, there's always yourself.

Me and Habs are about to have the big showdown fight. Not as well situated as I hoped though.

Kind of weird, my fleet was only 1 turn away, but didn't get there in one turn. However, I did not get the message that says "Your fleet has been delayed..." either...

I had the same thing happen.  The ETA for both fleets I sent was the same time, but the smaller (a single frigate-class) arrived by itself and was auto-killed while the big fleet took an extra turn to arrive.

Well, the big battle happened.

It was rather anti-climatic. Habs wiped the floor with me losing nothing more than a bunch fo frigates. His Titans are nasty beasts.

There is a new leading player....

I was trying to send some ships over, basically just to view the battle but it was going to take a couple of turns to arrive.  I was a little surprised to see it was over so quickly.
