I would just like to comment that one of the more challenging and exciting
aspects of Galaxy is the early play, when decision making is critical, and
significant risks and challenges exist. Namely, spending production on ONE
thing at a time. Outback, with two homeworlds, reduced this risk
drastically. Three homeworlds would virtually eliminate it. I am not
saying dont run a game this way, by all means experiment! But understand
you are removing an aspect of the game by adding multiple homeworlds.
