I agree.  In my opinion the galaxy game is a two program game.  There
should be a server program and a client program.  The client program I wrote
reads in recieved turn reports, displays a variety maps with labels, helps with
ship designs, displays your groups and planets in a variety of forms etc. etc.
All the things computers are good at.   The turn report should just contain the
'raw' data, so to speak, which can be read by the client program.
