• What if I decide to leave the game at some point?
  If you decide to leave, any credit you have will be returned. The species will continue as any other lost species. Until it still survives, you may resume control of it just as of any other "lost" species.
• How many turns will there be?
  the number of turns is yet to be determined (if it ever will). It will continue until thereis still interest/point in continuing. There will definately be at least 100 turns. Remember that the cluster contains 800 star systems, thus there is a lot to explore. If you would like to take part in a future "Far Horizons" game with a different number of turns per week, definately DO mail me.
• Do I have to keep track of my balance?
  No.
• What is the statistics report?
  Statistics report is a report giving:
  • Min, max and average tech levels in the cluster
  • Average number of warships and the average size of warships
  • Average number and size of starbases
  • Average number and size of starships
  • Average number of shipyards per species
  • Average number of populated planets per species
  • Average total production
• You said the game was low cost???
  The game definately is low cost. Consider that for $3, you can play for 10 weeks. The stats reports are not an essential componet - indeed, in the original game these were not available.
