    Settings wise:

    We need to determine:

    1. Speed. ( Normal, Fast, Fastest )
    2. Pause every ( 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 ) minutes for ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) minutes

    3. Galaxy Shape
    4. Travel type

    I play on fast, but that's with the ability to pause whenever. Without that ability, normal is probably best for a large group, though it would likely take a whole month of weekly sessions to finish a game.

    1. Speed. ( Normal, Fast, Fastest ):
    - Normal
    2. Pause every ( 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 ) minutes for ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) minutes
    - Every 30 for five would be good for tea runs and such.
    3. Galaxy Shape
    - Elliptical
    4. Travel type
    - All allowed

    I shall claim, for my empire, these adorable little friends:

    I think we need to determine session duration as well.

    I'm available for 5 hours the next four weeks, after that it would be 3 hours max.

    1. I think normal would probably be best. Most of us are still new to the game and haven't even reach late game yet. I know I still enjoy reading all the little texts events too.

    2. It would depend on the session length too. I think we could do a 1 minute pause every 15 minutes. With a 5 minute break every hour or hour and half.

    I don't mind. The worst case scenario, someone can't make it and the AI take over for a week.

    I heard somebody was playing Stellaris?

    Should we play this RP or are we more going mechanic oriented?

    I had sent my science ships and most of my fleet to the other side of the galaxy to survey and clear out hostile ships, and whilst they were gone the way back was apparently blocked off when a different empire blocked off a few system by claiming a few of the system. It seems like it shouldn't block me off since Jump Drives are supposed to go directly between two systems and I have ones on the other side that I can get to, but it's just not working out.

    The only reason I can see the Hyperlanes is because I researched the tech to reveal them, since I thought that it would give me an advantage by knowing which of my systems I would be best off fortifying.

    Definitely in.

    We should have everyone use the same type of warp. It might seem restrictive, but it really is best for balance, and it's a lot more interesting if we have Hyperlanes or Wormholes (though warp travel is always best and most viable).

    This happened to me. I have a fleet of about 3.5k that is seperated from my main empire, with no way of getting them back other than to declare war on the empire that blocked the path. They're allied with 5 other civs and I can't take them all at the same time, and I'm not sure it's actually possible to get any civ to give military access.

    Interested in the Saturday game; but may not be able to make it depending on how long my earlier commitment stretches. I'll either be early or REALLY late, so don't bother waiting if I don't show.
