I disagree. Without the tools, I would spend more time working out what
was going
on than I would playing. An average game, in my experience, ends up with
me having 500+ groups and 100+ planets to look after... I can't do that
in my head.

Hmmm... Well I know Jonn/Andrei is pretty much a regular on the
galaxy mailing list, and quite active at that. And I know Steve has been
active on this ng for quite a while as well. How about we drop the
name calling, as it seems both of you are equally qualified at it??

So Steve, which version of Galaxy are you running?? Standard galaxy is
pretty much not played anymore, GalaxyNG probably having most games
in the Western world, and G+ in the Soviet world

Really, that is a little uncalled for.
