I was surprised to see a group of 9 players online with v 1.191 last night. They were probably hosting in other countries. Last Sat afternoon I saw a whopping 11 players on three matches in v 1.191, so where are all the new players who start with small scenarios? Can they not host on the ICO servers? My attempt at hosting compatibility showed that my IP was invisible or something, but I was able to start my own small scenario. I waited an hour for other players, but no one j

Doesn't the empire lore have this sort of legend advertized?
What I would really like to see is a new type of developable star (over much time and effort) which does not contain any access and is made of stuff that is camoflaged by a magellanic cloud that would not be upgadable until late stages of game that would include cloakable phase lanes (only detectable by empires with a technology of ten) and capable of anniallating or overturning worlds at the very late stages of a seriously hammered conflict.
Maybe cloaked phase lanes. . .
Q: Should I make sure that all players joining a game have the same latest updates and no mods (since I don't yet) before beginning? Also, how would be the best way to ask players who want to join? (i.E. just put a statement in quotes in chat bar explaining conditions of game)?
Sticking to the subject. this is just a bit of an alternative to land based combat. One of the major hurdles would be to overcome bugs in the trees regarding usage of magnetized containers and phase disruption and psi powers, so I see some of your contention. However, I would buy an expansion that utilized high powered, and risky weapons capable of crippling planets in an attempt to speed up the end of a battle which may or may not have smurfs, technojunkies, and just lucky people enter
Speeding up the phase lanes would help overcome the possibility of finding and diplomatically banning the thing...
Start thinking ground deployment.
Furthur connotations could be derived from phasing capabilities of said system that would increase the speed of phase transport in case the thing got so ridiculously expensive that it took nearly all of freindly support tobuild and upgrade as to make it such a risk to utilize, but important in finding each one of an enemy' hideouts more quickly.
A binobomb(binarynano) could be sent into space towards an unsuspecting planet that needs terraforming into an overgrown ice-haven for kingdom plantae. Only, it might make the planet that produces it an ice haven. Or a planet-star combo could produce a quantum driven robot task force to an offending planet's populace that would subdue it over time; only to be captured possibly by said planet's corvette force and retasked to invade said maker's psi integrat alignment.
F'r instance, 1 othese planet-star combos could send a neutron singularity to destroy an unwanted world-only at the possible risk of the singularity being upturned in mid phase by some change in struc (i.e. deletion of phase lane) and coming back to swipe half of the sender's structures located in a nearby gravity well.;
The new star-planet system could be made weak in its induction. (Vulnerable unless placed correctly in the game) And then with further diplomacy-given the ability to extrude unwanted worlds to nuetrality rendering them more quickly salvagable in late phases of a game. Of course they would be subject to destruction if they were found. Possibly overruled by consensus if opposing factions agreed to continue fighting until the bitter end. They won't be ifallible protoc
Whts needed is a new clas planet-star combination which is only favorable in such dire causality when an end game scenario triggers terra forming abjunct diplomatic proceedure... Am I on the right page?
Seriously. the diplomatic reqs for creation of such monsters should include empire limits as well as cost and upgrade cap.
Maybe,& BTW it all gets back to that 2GRAM prob....So what's to stop any 'ol cyborg materialist with 2 computers from coming an blowing all us buzzcore noodleheads out of the water in a late gameplay sweep of the space debree field?:
