The auction system

• You could "buy" your favourite race and starting ships.
• During the game ship trades are disallowed.
• Communication is allowed only by ship names.

Description: Value of the starting ships in points:

• 1 point: (enerpsi drives, phaser) Miranda, Oberth, Falcon without tube, Archaeopterix
• 2 points: (enerpsi drives, phaser, graviton bombs) Virgo, B'Rel, Menhunter, Penguin, robotic bioscanner, Falcon with tube
• 3 points: (enerpsi drives, phaser, graviton bombs) Constitution, Corsair

(The Federation (race 1) has to pay one additional point per ship.)

Auction rules

The auction lasts four rounds. In round one every player gets 2 points, in round two 3, in round three 4 and in round four 5 points. In round four you get an extra point if you choose only two ships.

So, in every round you could send me your race choices or wait for the next round(s) (and more points). After each round I'll distribute the desired races. In case of multiple choices the players could come to terms or I use a dice. The distributed races are not available in the next round(s) and for the player who gets his race the auction is finished after he has choosen his starting ship(s) according to the points he could spend.

By the way, a player who waits for e.g. round two will not get 5 points. The points will not run up.

Example

round one, 2 points
player x would like to play race 3
player y waits for more points
player z would like to play race 1, 3 or 4

Distribution:

• player x gets race 3 and could buy ships for 2 points
• player z gets race 1 or 4 (he is allowed to make his choice) and could buy ships for 2 points (attention, the Federation have to pay more)
• player y joins round two
• The races 3 and 1 or 4 are not available in the next rounds and for players x and z the auction is finished.
