Game design from the beginning

[Peter]

1. Play takes place in a 3D star cluster.

There is a game, Sword of the Stars, where each race has unique ways of moving between stars. Will movement between stars be free or will it follow wormholes/gates? Or will each player be able to chose his propulsion system (that would be cool but tough to balance)?

9. Players will build ships of the following standard types: colonization, transport, space superiority, planetary assault, and surveillance.

Following the same line of thought as above. Will there be standardized ships for all races/players or will they be able to create their own designs (like SN:ROTE)?

Cheers!
