Re: [GZG] Campaign rules-Nodes [TOBECLASSIFIED] [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Good setup.

It can be explained using several methods:
1.  Wormholes (wild nodes do not have associated star systems);
2.  "safe" ftl routes (going any other way results in loss due to
hazards);
3.  random psb

As long as your exit point isn't fixed (wormhole defence battles) and
uses standard FTL exit, it's a good compromise for all players for
strategic movement.

Personally, I think that starfaring campaigns that don't use nodal
movement systems require a lot of extra paperwork and tends not to
generate as many battles.

	Hey Simon,
	 
	I have played several non-GZG games with nodes and found that
they help out quite a bit since you don't have to keep track of every
ship that decides to take the long way round. The thing I have been
toying with in my mind is the concept of nodes which are empty but
interconnect with star systems. I call them Wild nodes. In the Wild
nodes no battles can take place, but friendlies can meet up. The Wilds
represent all the empty space in-between. I am thinking that there may
be basically two nodes sets (stars to stars)(Wilds to Wilds to stars),
but haven't quite put it down to practice yet. Do you see any flaws or
potential nightmares in going this way?

	I tried to put a basic layout up. Hopefully I set up the file
right.
