Btw Stefan I think you need to work a bit to improve amaster. I have 25 planets total in 331ly (4 turn flight) circle around my HW.

I checked last game I was playing ( I had over 50).

So how a player with 25 planets is supposed to fight a player with 50 planets? :smile:

Here is my topic about that problem. Amaster's settings definetly must be changed. It is really frustrating when you cant win a game just because of a random generator and your skills don't matter.

Math says the average should be 43, which means you were lucky last time, not so lucky this time :smile:

vcnc, I must admit your topic "fell over" a little during the many PlanetsCentral topics. However, we were talking about two hops (165 ly range), and tightening these rules does not guarantee similar situations in 4 hops. Actually, even the classic Echo Cluster has areas where you have like 2 planets in range; in Titan 6 I'm sitting in such an area.

The reason I did not immediately tighten the settings was concerns about processor consumption (I don't want the server to get into an infinite loop when given too tight restrictions). Good news is that I'll be able to script and measure such effects soon.

Stefan, can you activate North Star 4. The Game's page shows that it is stopped.

Done. I prefer doing that from home, not from a commuter train (where I wrote the previous post). Expect most maintenance in central-european evenings.
