Found a glaring error in the setup initially. I have reset the game (since no one joined anyway) and opened it for play. This is a turn accumulation game, 500 turns per day accumulating for 7 days (max 3500) with an increase in sectors to 1000.

Gold Ferrengi enabled, internal aliens off. MBBS off. Just a place to blow an hour every night or save all your turns and rip the opponents a new one on the weekend, your choice.

This game will remain active for 2 months. Highest score at extern on 11/22/2011 wins.

Turned out to be a good bang. Game is nicely balanced. Come join and check it out. Currently only 1 player (me) and I'm no threat.
