(0012921) TechSY730 (reporter) Aug 20, 2011 7:39 pm	@Ranakastrasz It used to be 8, but that number has been increased in some recent version (don't remember which one). Not what I would recommend doing, though, as the AI gets extremely brutal when there are 16 player homes.

(0012938) ArcDM (reporter) Aug 21, 2011 5:21 pm	Perhaps the developers should limit the maximum number of ship types granted to the player(s) until they are willing to tackle the ogre of game balance with the use of computer crippling amounts of units. (My games, on a cheap 2 year old laptop are already lingering) At that, perhaps also limiting the number of home planets.

(0022174) Dazio (reporter) Apr 17, 2012 9:01 am	If I remember the discussion correctly, the increase in the number of starting planets displayed was done to give a wider choice in terms of ship types you could pick so if you were looking for a specific ship you could find it easier. I'm not sure any balancing was done in regards to the the fact this would allow games with a crazy number of homeworlds.
