I think you're being too Sirius (sorry, couldn't help myself)
Nah just observing that's all. Experimenting with the game mechanic is cool. It's just that expansion/empire building is gonna be done a lot that's all. This one is kinda different and would be a shame this late in the game if the original brief wasn't adhered to.
I think thats a fair enough idea to be honest. I liked the idea of trying to flip a station initially and never had any intention of doing anything else.
The idea of expansion is interesting, however, and in due course, after this mission is over, I might well see if one of these other "projects " appeal to me. If they do , then I will leave the Lugh enthusiasts to do their own thing and I won't hijack what Orfeboy and others have done in the name of expanding CSG to other systems. There's enough room for everyone after all.
