Yeah, I've noticed that, too.  Is it just the nature of the beast?  Or are we 
doing like TLC did; it seems that Lego towns are almost entirely made up of fire 
stations and police stations, with the odd rescue center or two.  All action and 
no supporting businesses, etc. 
 
Richard's post has given me some ideas, but I'm not sure which one to act on 
first.  Hmmm...

Yeah, I remember when the systems limits were discussed, and this exact topic 
came up.  The 5-10 system was voted for the most so that no one player could 
blockade a sector with super-high-quality ships...or do something similar.  I 
think we should revise the system so that you can register as many as you want, 
and they only count against the slots if you actually *deploy* them.  It might 
make a little more work for the GM (who, I might add, has done a magnificent job 
so far).  Hmm.  Any other thoughts?

  |  Hi guys, A note of enthusiasm for new things starship. I am a few days away from being able to take pics of a new line of ships. Almost all our registrations so far are for warships, exploration vessels, traders and the odd maintenance tender. The (...)   (22 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.gaming.starship)
