Some dark start games I've seen no stars but my own, and as soon as start is hit a bunch of stars pop up.

This game I can see additional stars beyond my 6. Basically another 6 stars. Can anyone else?

Random hex because we have a few newbies that need to go through the grinder first.


Next game I'll run will be circle for sure.

How much does the defensive bonus help?

10 defending ships wouldn't beat 20 attacking ships correct?

Apparently they do, the defender bonus is brutal at early stages.

It said it was waiting on a player but I spent all my money so I figured I may as well end my turn.

but the earlier you get more and better infrastructure the more it pays off in the long term!

really this is a game about balancing short term gains against long term viability, only to see it come crashing down when you realise everyone else in the game has already parcelled out your stars and you were dead about 10 turns ago.
