I think most of us were heading towards self sustainability anyway, I know I was. Regardless have you got a thread for Iron Age up?

If I can't do that then I'll have to completely remake the storyline as the whole idea was to be drifting flotillas, so kinda useless to have self sustainable fleets that never need to restock I'll ponder on it some more, I'm not rushing to release another half-soaked product Well, you could always just slap more sectors into ROTCS 2 map and let it play out from there. Invincible OCP aliens curbstomping everything off-screen was pretty stupid TBH.

That's what I did for ROTCS II, took the ROTCS I map and added sectors all around it. I felt that doing that twice would be the stupid thing.
The three possibilities I’m so far considering is to run the same map again but remove all the complication as well as making it an already explored map. That way players can start afresh and choose which areas to attack with prior knowledge of what’s there.
Second option is to be lazy and just expand the map again. Though the underlying story will have to be completely re-written and the planned ending for the whole series will be completely pointless. But meh, shit happens. If it’s an enjoyable game then it won’t matter that there isn’t an ending.
Third option is to run duel maps. The existing ROTCS II map and a new map representing a nearby galaxy.
