Yay! I just wanted to post this edit here FIRST just in case anyone else wanted to take credit for it.

The edit is called "Funsville" and it's basically an edit that *casual* players will enjoy.

-Scorpion ship enabled and enhanced (rendering the ISS completely obsolete)
-Planet upgrading simplified *ridiculously*
-Terran population growth set to maximum
-Gold Alien Traders given a surprisingly powerfully useful (but extremely weak) ship
-several other improvements for casual play (like 1 day bust clears, 200% port regen, etc.)

I didn't use the "port fixer" script on this edit (from Vid Kid) to max all the products on all ports, but that was the next step to really make this a "Funsville" edit! Yay!

IMPORTANT EDIT:
I went back through the edit today and realized I made some goofs with the Gold Alien Traders (in addition to Microblaster's observations, below.) After re-bang, the sysop might consider changing Ferrengal to a volcanic and the class 8 port at Stardock to a class 3.

So after playtesting it this time, I present to you the updated edit! Funsville 1.1! Unfortunately, on my Windows 10 machine, I can't edit the description for the new ship used by the Gold Aliens! Sigh... Windows just becomes more like malware with each edition.

IMPORTANT EDIT, 2:
Heh! Sorry for the inconvenience! This brand new edit (Funsville 1_2) is virtually identical to the previous version except that it's more "lore-friendly!" The Gold Aliens are moved to a new slot and renamed "Federation Prisoners." This is because only Federation Prisoners would be using "Federal Mowing Units." BTW: There are 15 Federation Prisoners that appear within fifty days! AWESOMELY useful vehicles, but quite a bit tougher to capture than you might expect! Heh!

Cashing in a "port fixed" game requires a special cashing script, so it is not much "Fun" unless you have the script. Granted it is not a hard script to write, but I do not know of a public version.

I recommend the following changes:
La tenancy - Maybe? I run 75ms on all my game, and Sultan Bey runs 50ms, Star Killer runs 100ms, so this is a bit controversial.
Movement Speed - 250ms or faster (Also controversial)
Remove Rob/Steal Delay
Turn on Interactive Sub-Prompts
Unlimited Time
Turn off Fedspace Photons


I have banged this edit on my server with these changes, and scheduled to open Friday 12/18 at 8pm Eastern!

Well, gee, I forgot to modify a few things!? Hyuck!

There are a couple of public cashing scripts on TWXProxy. SWATH also has a built-in cashing script, but it's not as good as TWXProxy's.

1) What, exactly, does latency do? I've heard it makes the game unstable below the default value so I've never messed with it.

2) Movement rates were SUPPOSED to be set the way you specified, already! Someone forgot to change that!

3) What does interactive sub-prompts do? And where is it? I've seen it, but never really messed with it.

4) Heh... Fedspace photons *is* a bit dirty!

Not talking about normal cashing. In a "port fixed" game you need a script that scouts and ROBs each port 1 time. You can easily modify any passive gridder, but there is not public script that does this.
Latency adds a delay to all connections based on ping. The lower your ping, the more delay is added. The intent is to put all players on an equal footing. Movement speed may cause corruption, not latency.
lol
It hides messages from the game if you are not at a main prompt and breaks photon and other scripts.

More than a bit. A player can lock down a game in seconds if you have fedspace photons enabled.
