You probably would NEVER get longer than this in any game involving people
from around here (Trondheim, Norway). Most of us have found that 2 or 3
homeworlds are MUCH better than only 1 (say 2 or 3 times as good :-).

This ensures that you (if close to one of us) will have a visiting 'diplomat'
(armed of cource) in turn 3. (see my earlier post for details)

To avoid beeing finished of by people checking local defences in round 3 you
must build defence in one of the first 2 rounds.

By the way, I dont think the game allows for homeplanets to be closer than
20 ly
