I like 178 too. In those 8 years you get the PF deployment and the last "refits" and some x-tech. It's a good transitional period.</div>

My only issue with starting 171 in and 8 year campaign is that it ends in 179, where some races will have PFs and some races won't. I'd rather a timeline that allows the new technologies to be fully deployed across the empires. That could be solved by making
it longer than 8 years, but I guess 8 years and 24 turns is a long campaign!</div>

<div>Great news Matt! Thank you for the work that you do for us.<br>

<div>Concerning the starting year, I'm easy. Perhaps Y178? That would give everybody interceptors and a short lead up to full PFs and X-tech, and then several turns to play with all the advanced designs as they become available.</div>

<div>No preference on Omega stuff, just about everything is new to me anyway lol.</div>

<div>Don, on getting into more battles: Last campaign Wayne had a neat idea. He would send me the approximate strength of some of his fleets when he was spoiling for a scrap, something like "You detect multiple vessels with a warp signature of 1.5 in Sector
###". With that I was able to assign a force of approximately the same strength and we could do some shooting. If you've got a gentlemanly neighbor who won't take advantage of that information to steamroll you, that could be a potential solution without needed
hard changes to the rules.<br>
