| 1. How big is the following and how often to games start, I've not seen
| that much about it before is that because I havn't been looking in the
| write place.

There currently isn't a newsgroup just for Stars!.  We hope to be
able to set one up soon.  Currently I see a fair amount of Stars!
posts (new games, questions, etc) on comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic
and here on rec.games.pbm.  There are also big games going on on AOL,
CompuServe, GEnie and BBSs around the world.

| 2. Is it possible to resister in the UK as $30 + $18 postage adds up to
| quite alot of money.

You can register over the web.  Check out http://www.webmap.com/Stars!

| 3. If I play in a PBM game with an unresigtered version (to see if I
| like it) then am I restricted to a small universe game.

You can play in any size universe.  Whoever creates the universe must
have a registered copy to create a medium, large or huge universe.
You can even play with a custom race if someone with a registered
copy creates it for you.  The big limitation is that you will never
go over tech 10 in any research field as long as you are playing with
an unregistered copy.
