I liked the rules as they were...except perhaps:
Maybe planets can support different amounts of max population, and maybe instead of 1 additional building per 10 pop, it could be 1 additional per 6 pop, so that there can be more buildings, habitat is not worthless, and there is some safety margin at maximum populations.

The Cow
“This is very odd, nothing has happened in SO long, you know? We've all just been sitting here.” Comcow Over says, trying to innitate conversation, in the silent control room.
“Yeah man, it is like....... you know....... checked out! It is like already near the Crab nebula.” Says Cowmander Later, clearly exploring new things to do during this doldrum, “You know the Mayan's said that the age would end in 2012.... maybe it was like 4024! It is actually times TWO! Cause... Cause that is something they would do!”
“In Mayan scripts, they said ends of ages would be marked by much excitement and new happenings. It would seem anti-climactic for the Mayan gods to merely, “Check Out” as you say” Comcow explains
“Man... Cow... Dude... Bro...” Cowmander Later begins “.... I am too stoned”
Suddenly General General Mary appears in the doorway (who you might remember from the non-inspace version) “Then go to bed!”.
“WOW! IT is General General Mary! How did you get here?!” Everyone says in unison
“You left the dimensional NES portal open, all my heat was escaping through it. It is running my electric bill through the roof!” and with that she took out of her bag a comically tall stack of papers, “Lets reinvigorate this place!”
She took out a boom-box and played “Centerfold” and pushed Cowmander Later of the Command Chair.
“Lets kick some non-denomination species ass!” and with that she opend up a hyperspace window... to the unknown!

^ the stories are really cool 
thankyou all!
I was thinking about posting ZPNES3 tonight, but I went off on a trip and got myself bogged down on tons of rules (as usual). Im having second thoughts about the whole thing, because i really would need this to be easy for me to update. So I thought id stop and ask some questions first…
#1 anyone still want to play a low-budget space game like this?
#2 if so, should the combat be more complicated? (I was thinking of a fighter/warship division at least)
#3 if yes to #1, is the following acceptable? Or way too much?
Test map attached…

I was ok with the old rules - but I am a micromanager who likes detail. So new rules are even better. However, with more detail, you ended up having to show more stuff around each planet on the map - I hope that doesn't lead to impossibly large maps.
I somehow liked the old way you handled technology better (random little gadget/event) than the classic civ-style. But in a prolonged game, I suppose tech tree would be better.
Here is an idea for tech, if you haven't already thought of it: Building efficiency (separate for each of Industry, Research, Agriculture, Defense, etc.) lowers the cost (10) by 1 point (you might set a minimum final cost). Can be researched multiple times for the same building.
It is from MoO1, in which a factory costed 10 points to build, but you could research tech for 9, 8,...2.
On ship classes... Any amount of diversity (or lack of) is ok for me.

OKies,
@Knigh+ and Abaddon, i guess i cant do a space game with any kind of rules now, i dont have time and im not sure theres enough demand. Id be happy to help out with stuff if you want to launch your own NES.
@Lord_Iggy, i could carry on with this and just post a basic map with icons to show ships and special stuff etc, forgetting all the actual stats.

I am confused...
I, just like many other people, have already said I was happy with the old goofy rules. You were the one suggesting more detailed set of rules in post 104, and I recommended a few bits in the light of that.
Nevertheless, in X months I might launch a space-based NES myself. (X is an unknown number between 1 and 100).

OK, well sorry about this, but i made another thread, because the new version has no rules anymore and it just seemed like a good idea...
@Knigh+, i did this today while i was offline (i only get online in the evenings) so i didn't see your post. Ill add The Hive of Normally Sized Termites to the new game if you want.
