Re: Rules with interesting dynamics

Very nice! For some reason I find the almost-adjustable ships more interesting than actually-adjustable spaceships. Maybe it's because if there are infinitely many they become boring, but if there are only finitely many then it leaves you hoping for one more. Since the p304 ship doesn't work with B3...
